Data presented in previous sections revealed that the concentration of FFAs in plasma may reach 2.0 mM during exercise. How is this possible when the highest attainable concentration in water is only about 0,1 mM This problem was resolved by nature by use of albumin as a vehicle for the transport of FFAs within the circulation. Albumin constitutes about 60% of the protein of blood plasma. It is a major carrier of FFAs, other metabolites, hormones, and drugs- Serum albumin has the capadty to carry several fatty adds. Figure 4.45 shows results from an experiment usingpurificdalbumin.Thenumberoffattyacid molecules bound per protein molecule is plotted versus the concentration of unbound fatty acids in solution. The study, conducted with lauric acid (12 carbons) and myristic add (14 carbons), demonstrates that one protein molecule is able to bind at least 8 or 9 molecules of fatty acid. Albumin has a molecular weight of 69 kDa and occurs in human plasma at a concentration of about 0.6 mM (40 mg/ml) (Halliwell, 1988). 

The PI anchor maintains adhesion of acetylcholinesterase (of the red blood cell) and of some proteoglycans (su I fated proteinsof the extracellular matrix) to the cell membrane Palmitic acid is bound via thiol-ester bonds toCys 322 and Cys 323 of rhodopsln (see the section on vitamin A), a 327-amino-add protein. The polypeptide chain of rhodopsin loops in and out of the membrane several times, leaving the possible function of the lipid as an anchor in question. Myristic add is bound to the catalytic subunit of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase, though this protein is cytosolic and soluble. 

Palmihc add (16 0) iS the primary saturated fatty acid in most diets. This compound constitutes about 25% of the fatty acids of beef or pork fat, but only 6-10% of Ihc fatly acids of sunflower, safflower, peanut, or soy oils (see Table 6.8). Dietary palmitic add increases LDL-cholesterol (Grundy and Denke, 1990), Myrislic acid (14 0) is present at high levels in butter fat and in the "tropical oils" palm oil and coconut oil. Although myristic add elevates LDL-cholesterol, it is generally a rather minor component of the diet. Stearic acid (18 0) is also a major component... 

Catabolism of the 14-carbon myristic add by the -oxidation pathway yields seven molecules of acetyl CoA after six passages. 

Soap consists of the sodium and potassium salts of various fatty adds such as oleic stearic, palmitic, lauric, and myristic adds, The saponification for the formation o soap from aqueous caustic soda and glyceryl stearate is... 

By increasing the molar proportion of the monocarboigrlic acid, the yield of (II) is improved. Thus electrolysis of a mixture of decanoic acid (n-decoic acid capric acid) (V) (2 mols) and methyl hydrogen adipate (VI) (1 mol) in anhydrous methanol in the presence of a little sodium methoxide gives, a r hyc lysis of the esters formed, n-octadecane (VII), tetradecanoic or myristic add (VIII) and sebacic acid (IX) ...
