The Chemistry of Lipids Experiment #8 Objective To observe the solubility of lipids in polar and nonpolar solvents and to compare saturated and unsaturated fats in their chemical reaction with bromine. The percent fat in a food will be determined by extraction of the fat and weighing it. Introduction Lipids‚ by definition‚ are natural substances that do not mix with water but dissolve in organic solvents. There are several classes of lipids‚ including: fatty acids‚ waxes‚ triacylglycerols

reduce LDL cholesterol levels. They reduce the risk of heart disease and numerous health problems. They are still part of the fat family but with benefits in our nutrition. We do need to keep in mind though that they are still fats and should never over consume them. Of these two fats monounsaturated fat has an added contribute of healthy doses of vitamin E. These two fats are generally found in plants. Lipids are a component found in blood fats commonly spoke of as cholesterol. They are needed

plant based. Vegans also have low levels of blood pressure and low density lipoprotein cholesterol. These low levels are due to the fact that vegan diets have a good source of dietary fiber‚ potassium‚ and magnesium‚ folic acid‚ vitamin C and E. Another advantage is since Vegans tend to be skinner this allows them to have a low risk of developing diabetes and cancer. Having lower blood pressure and "bad" cholesterol levels enables Vegans to have a lower risks of developing cardiovascular disease.

Avoid trans fats for health. Trans fat is an unhealthy substance‚ also known as trans fatty acid‚ made through the chemical process of hydrogenation of oils. Hydrogenation solidifies liquid oils and increases the shelf life and the flavor stability of oils and foods that contain them. Trans fat is found in vegetable shortenings and in some margarines‚ crackers‚ cookies‚ snack foods and other foods. The US FDA in 1999 proposed that the Nutrition Facts labels on vegetable shortenings and some cookies

Characterization of Saponifiable Lipids and Characterization & Isolation of Complex Lipids Jan Kevin Roxas‚ Nashiba Samad‚ Erickson Santos Department of Chemistry‚ University of Santo Tomas‚ Manila‚ Philippines Abstract Lipids building blocks of different organic material that are water insoluble. This can be divided into simple and complex lipids that have several forms like waxes‚ triacylglycerols‚ phosphoacylgylcerols‚ sphingolipids‚ eicosanoids‚ isoprenoids and many other. To identify‚

Heart disease is the number one cause of death in Americans. 1out of 4 deaths in America is the result of heart disease. The two main causes of heart disease are high cholesterol and blood pressure and are typically treated with statins and ACE inhibitors‚ however with proper exercise both of these issues can be controlled just as well and without side effects. As people grow older in age they can have a decline in cognitive

Danielle O’Connell - Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome The Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome was first recognized in 1964 by David Smith‚ Luc Lemli‚ and John Opitz when many similar symptoms were recognized between three of their patients. At this time the disorder was called “RHS syndrome” which is a combination of the first letters in all the last names of these patients. Over the next 20 to 25 years many more cases popped up with the same symptoms of the first three patients. These new cases expanded

potential culprit because of its high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol‚ which can clog up arteries. In April‚ another study found that the compound carnitine‚ also found in red meat‚ is metabolized by human-gut bacteria and fills up blood vessels. People who eat meat are more likely to have higher cholesterol because cholesterol is only present in animal-based foods‚ including meat‚ eggs and dairy products. High cholesterol can increase your chances of developing heart disease‚ which can‚
