Fatty Acid Profile
Fatty acid is a carboxylic acid with an aliphatic chain, which is either straight or branched, saturated or unsaturated.
Fatty acids are building blocks of lipids and have many important functions in the body, including energy storage, membrane composition and influence of cell and tissue metabolism, as well as the responsiveness to hormonal and other signals.
Fatty acids are highly correlated with health and well-being, but also with disease states, such as type II diabetes, inflammatory diseases, cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
Applications
What are the essential amino acids?
Amino acids are organic compounds composed mainly of nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Our body needs 20 different amino acids for its proper function and nine are considered essential: lysine, valine, histidine, methionine, isoleucine, leucine, phenylalanine, threonine, and tryptophan. Essential amino acids can only be obtained from diet and are the core of many vital processes.
