Lordosis â Abnormal lordosis is an abnormal curvature of the normal curvature of the spine. This can occur when the lumbar and cervical curvatures are over-pronounced, and can cause extreme pain or discomfort. Lordosis itself can refer to either normal or abnormal curvature of the spine. Scoliosis â Scoliosis is the complete abnormality of the curvature of the spine. With this condition, the spine curves from side to side, often resulting in unbalanced posture and muscle development.
Major Constituents of Fats and oils: Chemistry of Triglycerides and Fatty Acids 3. Reactions of Fats and Oils 4. Minor Constituents of Fats and Oils 5. Conclusion. Introduction Fats and oils are biochemical units synthesized by plants and animals and made up of mostly carbon, hydrogen and oxygen elements. They are the most calorie-dense of all the nutrients found in foods: ~9kcal/g and contribute roughly 30-50% of our daily calorie intake.
Lipids include compounds such as fatty acids, cholesterol, lipoproteins, phospholipids, steroids, waxes and even fat soluble vitamins. One of the subcategories of lipids, the fatty acids, is crucial to understand the differences between fats and oils. (1)Subramaniam S, Fahy E, Gupta S, Sud M, Byrnes RW, Cotter D, et al.
