07-SEPTEMBER-2008 03:17:44 - Polyunsaturated fatty acid Polyunsaturated fatty acids PUFA are those which contain more than one double bond. Contents 1 Methylene-Interrupted Polyenes 1.1 Omega-3 1.2 Omega-6 1.3 Omega-9 2 Conjugated fatty acids 3 Other Polyunsaturates 4 Function and effects 5 See also 6 References 6.1 Citations 6.2 General References Methylene-Interrupted Polyenes These fatty acids have 2 or more cis double bonds which are separated from each other by a single methylene group. This form is also sometimes called a divinylmethane pattern. 1 Methylene- interrupted double bonds -C-C=C-C-C=C- The essential fatty acids comprise the omega-3 and -6 methylene-interrupted fatty acids.
