Some common lipids. At the top is oleic acid and cholesterol. In the middle is a triglyceride composed of oleoyl, stearoyl, and palmitoyl chains attached to a glycerol backbone. At the bottom is the common phospholipid phosphatidylcholine. | | oleic acid | cholesterol | triglyceride | oleoyl | stearoyl | palmitoyl | glycerol | phospholipid | phosphatidylcholine | soluble | lipophilic | molecule | vitamins | monoglycerides | diglycerides | phospholipids | cell membranes | signaling molecules | fats | triglycerides | fatty acid | tri- | di- | monoglycerides | phospholipids | sterol | metabolites | cholesterol | emulsion test | hydrophobic | amphiphilic | ketoacyl | isoprene | Examples of some lipids from various categories. | | fatty acids | acetyl-CoA | malonyl-CoA | methylmalonyl-CoA | eicosanoids | prostaglandins | leukotrienes | thromboxanes | wax esters | coenzyme A | anandamide | triglycerides | phospholipids | biological membranes | lecithin | phosphatidylinositols | ceramides | sphingosine | cerebrosides | gangliosides | cholesterol | steroids | estrogen | androgens | testosterone | androsterone | glucocorticoids | vitamin D | sterols | bile acids | Figure 2: Structure of the saccharolipid Kdo2-Lipid A.
