	Healthopedia.com - Saturated Fat (Saturated Fatty Acid)
		Diets high in fat, especially saturated fat, are linked to high blood cholesterol levels and heart disease.
		Saturated fat is found primarily in animal foods.
		Small amounts of saturated fat are not harmful, but too much can increase blood cholesterol levels in some people.

		Fatty acid methyl and ethyl esters are known to be present in the plasma of patient with liver dysfunction following ethanol ingestion (Aleryani SL et al., Clin Chim Acta 2005, 359, 141).
		Fatty acids with 4 to 12 carbon atoms are found mainly in milk fats (mainly butyric acid in cow and decanoic acid in sheep) but those with 10 and 12 carbon atoms are found also in certain seed oils such as coconut and other kernel fats of the palm family.
		Saturated fatty acids were shown to be the major constituents of adipocere (similar to "adipocire" studied by Chevreul), the white and soap-like decomposition product which forms due to the post-mortem conversion of body adipose tissue (Pfeiffer S et al., J Forensic Sci 1998, 43, 368).

	AHA
		Saturated fatty acids are the main dietary culprit in raising blood cholesterol.
		A fatty acid molecule consists of a chain of carbon atoms in carbon-carbon double bonds with hydrogen atoms "attached." In nature most unsaturated fatty acids are cis fatty acids, meaning the hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the double carbon bond.
		Common sources of polyunsaturated fatty acids are safflower, sesame and sunflower seeds, corn and soybeans, many nuts and seeds and their oils.

		Nature makes most mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the cis form, meaning that the hydrogens that are bonded to the carbon atoms at the point of unsaturation are on the same side of the carbon chain.
		The trans fatty acid levels in partially hydrogenated vegetable shortening used for baking and frying range from 14 to 18 percent, down from the 25 percent plus levels common in previous generations of shortenings.

	Emulsifier composition and quality improvement method for starch containing foods - Patent 4363826
		In the composition according to the present invention, the number of carbon atoms for the saturated fatty acid moiety is in the range of 12-22, and that for the cis-type unsaturated fatty acid moiety is in the range of 16-22.
		As indicated above, the suitable percentages of saturated fatty acid monoglyceride and of cis-type unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride are 65-85% for the former and 35-15% for the latter.
		Accordingly, if the raw material of fatty acid in the unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride is partially hydrogenated oil and fat or partially hydrogenated fatty acid, it is presumed that there is a case wherein the mixture of the unsaturated fatty acid monoglyceride and the saturated fatty acid monoglyceride forms a solid solution.

	Saturated fat - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The higher saturated fats such as coconut oil and cow butter are more solid at room temperature, are more stable during cooking, and have longer shelf lives than oils such as olive oil or other liquid vegetable oils.
		Critics of saturated fat can counter that the health benefits of these foods might stem not from their saturated fat content, but rather their high levels of mono- and polyunsaturated fat.
		Studies suggesting replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats to increase the ratio of HDL to LDL serum cholesterol, have to be analysed within the concept of processed/damaged/oxidised/Trans-shaped versus naturally found/undamaged saturated fats, since saturated fat is extremely stable and easily withstands cooking/roasting heats, they resist oxidation and can be stored the longest.

	Fatty Acids, AO1
		Saturated fatty acids (the building blocks of saturated fat) have no double bonds (a particular kind of chemical link between adjoining molecules) and this lack of double bonds means that there are no gaps in the fatty acid chain: it is packed with CH molecules.
		Unsaturated fatty acids (the building blocks of unsaturated fat), on the other hand, have double bonds and these double bonds break up the string of CH ´s and create gaps within the fatty acid chain.
		When these tightly packed saturated fatty acids enter the bloodstream, they increase levels of "bad" cholesterol known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and clog arteries.

	Fats explained
		Fatty acids are molecules that contain carbon atoms bonded to other carbon atoms, and if all of these carbon - carbon bonds in the fatty acid are single bonds then the carbons atoms are said to be saturated and the fatty acid termed a saturated fatty acid.
		Saturated fat is harmful - it is a major risk factor for heart attacks and strokes.
		If the body lacks sufficient amounts of polyunsaturated fatty acids to use in cell formation, saturated fatty acids are used instead, especially if they're high in the diet.

	Fatty acid composition and... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		The reason why SFA concentrations are increased in type 2 diabetes is unclear, because the estimated rate of elongation, desaturation of FFA and dietary intake with de novo lipogenesis seems to be identical to that in non-diabetics.
		A possible explanation for the increased SFA may be that it is caused by decreased oxidation.
		Although aberrant plasma SFA accumulation is unlikely to account entirely for the diverse array of defects found in hepatic glucose handling, the findings presented in this article implicate SFA as a potentially important mediator of the deleterious effects of increased EGP in type 2 diabetes.
