Study Notes

Lipids

Triacylglycerols (Triglycerides)

Esters of glycerol with three usually different fatty acids.
Main lipids in the body and in food.

Phospholipids

Esters of glycerol with fatty acid, having an additional phosphate group.
Include:
- Phosphatidylcholines (Lecithins).
- Phosphatidylinositol.
- Cardiolipin.
- Lysophospholipids.
- Plasmalogens.
- Sphingomyelins.

Glycolipids

Lipids with a carbohydrate attached to them.
Widely distributed in every body tissue, particularly in nervous tissue.
