LIPIDS
Classification:
(Bloor’s classification)
1. Simple lipids
2. Complex lipids
3. Derived lipids
4. Miscellaneous lipids
Simple lipids
Esters of FA + glycerol
Example: Bee wax, Lanolin
Complex lipids
FA + AIC (glycerol/sphingosine)
+ Additional group (NB + Po4⁻)
Phospholipids
FA + AIC (G/s) + Po4⁻ + NB
Glycero- PL (Simplest, Phosphatidic acid)
Sphingo- PL
PA → G-PL
Nitro- B⁺
1. Lecithin
2. Cephalin
3. Phosphatidyl Serine
Nitro- B⁻
1. P.inositol
2. P.glycerol
3. Di-P glycerol/ Cardiolipin
Sphingo-PL – (FA + S + Po4⁻ + NB)
Glycolipids
Neutral- Cerebrosides- Ceramide + mono
-Globosides- Ceramide + oligo
Acidic- gangliosides- Ceramide + oligo + NANA (cialic)
Derived Lipids
FA, Cholesterol, Glycerol
Miscellaneous lipids
Vitamin E, Vitamin K, Carotenoids, Squalene, Lanosterol
