abstract:
Free radical-catalyzed cis-trans isomerization of unsaturated lipids
and its outcome in biomimetic conditions are reviewed. They
provided indications for an endogenous origin of trans unsaturated
fatty acids in humans by the attack of thiyl radicals. A multidisciplinary
approach highlights the relevance of this topic. The role of
cis lipid geometry and its maintenance in the biological environment
is an emerging question, with future developments in the
fields of lipidomics, biology, and medicine.
