Fatty acids

carboxylic acid with a long aliphatic chain, either saturated or unsaturated

monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid, abbreviated with a lipid number of 18:1 cis-9

chemical compound

chemical compound

fatty acids with a double bond (C=C) at the third carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain

chemical compound

omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid

catabolic process by which fatty acids are broken down in the cytosol (in prokaryotes)/mitochondria (in eukaryotes) to generate acetyl-CoA (which enters the citric acid cycle) and NADH and FADH₂ (used in the electron transport chain)

chemical compound

chemical compound

fat in which the fatty acid chains have all or predominantly single bonds

chemical compound

fatty acids with a double bond (C=C) at the sixth carbon atom from the end of the carbon chain

Mupirocin, sold under the brand name Bactroban among others, is a topical antibiotic useful against superficial skin infections such as impetigo or folliculitis. It may also be used to get rid of methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA) when present in the nose without symptoms. Out of concerns of developing resistance, use for greater than ten days is not recommended. It is used as a cream or ointment applied to the skin.

In the first step, Triglyceride|triacylglycerol is hydrolyzed to make diacylglycerol and this is catalyzed by [[adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL). In the second step, diacylglycerol is hydrolyzed to make monoacylglycerol and this is catalyzed by hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL). In the last step, monoacylglycerol is hydrolyzed to make glycerol and this is catalyzed by monoacylglycerol lipase (MGL). ]] thumb|upright=1.8|Example of a triacylglycerol Lipolysis is the metabolic pathway throu
