| A monounsaturated fatty acid has one point of unsaturation, while a polyunsaturated fatty acid has two or more. |
| The current work shows that lipid asymmetry and unsaturation both result in high critical pressures in monolayers. |
| Since these enzymes cannot introduce sites of unsaturation beyond C9 they cannot synthesize either linoleate or linolenate. |
| In many cases, properties attributed to sphingomyelins may simply be due to chain length and unsaturation. |
| Simultaneously with the change of some of the unsaturation to the trans configuration there is a migration of double bonds along the chain. |
| The lipids in poultry exhibit a higher degree of unsaturation than red meats due to a relatively high content of phospholipids. |
