Oleic acid triacylglycerol formation

In addition, tuna triacylglycerol had no effect on the Matrigel-induced capillary-like network formation by human microvascular endothelial cells (HMVECs), while free DHA significantly inhibited Matrigel-induced capillary-like networks at 1 to 1000 pM Fig. (7) . Oleic acid inhibited the capillary-like formations at 10 to 1000 pM Fig. (7) . 

Problem 19.8. Write the equation showing triacylglycerol formation from 1 mol of glycerol and 1 mol each of palmitic, stearic, and oleic acids. 

In summary then, one can now predict that in tissues which normally do not store triacylglycerol—for example, the leaf cell—the chloroplast is the primary source of fatty acids and the endoplasmic reticulum in the cytosol is involved in further modifications of the acyl moieties. In tissues high in oil content, the proplastid is the source of the primary fatty acids, and the endoplasmic reticulum is the site of further modifications and/or of the formation of the oil storage organelle or oil droplet which contains only triacylglycerols and has no synthetic capabilities (see Fig. 2). From Table II, palmitic and oleic acids would appear to be the primary acids.
