What are “designer” fatty acids, and what health benefits do they bring?
Fatty acids (FAs) are important components of lipids, which are organic compounds that are present in living cells in the form of fats, oils, and hormones. When three FAs are attached to a glycerol backbone, they form triacylglycerol (TAG), a type of neutral lipid commonly found in vegetable oils and human fat. The nutritional value, health […]
