Of particular importance are fatty adds with conjugated double bonds, which differ significantly from fatty acids with isolated double bonds in their reactivity and have distinct physiological effects (see Section 3.3.3.2). An example is (9Z,1 l )-octadeca-9,l 1-dienoic acid (formerly known as conjugated linoleic acid orbovinic acid the recommended trivial name is rumenic acid, 3-10).
