PHENOLIC LIPIDS There are essentially two types of phenolic lipid, those in which the side-chain is isoprenoid, as in a-tocopherol, and […]
GLYCOLIPIDS BASED ON GLYCEROL These lipids consist of a mono- or oligosaccharide moiety linked glycosidically to the hydroxyl group of glycerol which may […]
HYDROXY ACIDS The hydroxyl group(s) may occur at various positions in the carbon chain which can be saturated or monoenoic. Some polyhydroxy fatty […]
