| 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. |
| The current work shows that lipid asymmetry and unsaturation both result in high critical pressures in monolayers. |
| The degree of unsaturation of fatty acids has been shown to influence several of these steps, at least in mammals. |
| Elongation and unsaturation of fatty acids occurs in both the mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum. |
| The lipids in poultry exhibit a higher degree of unsaturation than red meats due to a relatively high content of phospholipids. |
