Of Fatty Acids To Human Body

? It is ideal to consume ratio of:

?1 : 1 : 1

? SFA MUFA PUFAs

? respectively from the diet to maintain good

? Naturally there is no single oil which has

all 3 types of fatty acids in ideal

various Lipoproteins.

Fatty acids Transportation In body

? More than 90% of the fatty acids found in

plasma are in the form of Fatty acid esters.

? Fatty acids Esters/Esterifed form of Fatty

acids exist as:

? Triacylglycerol
? Cholesteryl esters
? Phospholipids

? Unesterified/Free Fatty acids (FFA)

are very less amount in body.

? Long Chain FFA are transported in

? PUFAs Lowers Risk Of Atherosclerosis

? Since double bonds of PUFAs are unstable and

easily cleavable.

? PUFAs get easily metabolized and do not get

accumulated in the blood arteries and capillaries.

? Thus PUFAs have low risk of Atherosclerosis and

Cardio vascular disorders.
