β¦ Synopsis
Semi-selective 800 MHz 1H, 13C HSQC NMR spectra provide ultra-high resolution of the double bond region of lipid spectra and the possibility of assigning signals to individual unsaturated fatty acid side-chains such as 18 : 1, 18 : 2 or 20 : 4 even in complex mixtures such as bioΓuids. Additional HSQC-TOCSY spectra correlate the direct double bond signals with the adjacent allylic high-Γeld proton signals of mono-and polyunsaturated fatty acids. These signals show characteristic chemical shifts to di β erentiate unsaturated fatty acids such as 18 : 1, 18 : 2 and 20 : 4 (or others). By this means, the amount of each type of unsaturated fatty acid can be quantiΓed. Typical lipid spectra of body Γuids (blood plasma and cerebrospinal Γuid) and pig brain (grey and white matter) are presented and discussed with respect to the use of this technique for diagnostic purposes.

The 13C NMR of ethylenic carbon atoms in the methylene-interrupted cis double bonds as found in polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), their precursors and analogs was studied. The chemical shifts of unsaturated carbon atoms are strongly dependent on a combination of electric Γeld e β ects from the hea
A total of 26 monomethyl branched saturated fatty acids was identified in baboon liver lipids; these included a novel anteiso component with an odd number of carbon atoms in the chain (13-methylpentadecanoic acid).
## Background: Polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-6) are reported to selectively kill malignant cells. most investigations, however, did not compare neoplastic with non-neoplastic cells from the same tissue type. here we evaluate the effects of n-6 fatty acids on a non-neoplastic epithelium cell line (
