title: [Functional role of monounsatuilated fatty acids in the human].
abstract: This review discusses the metabolism of key monounsaturated fatty acids in human (Ω7-palmitoleic acid, Ω9-oleic acid). These acids are obtained from dietary sources and can also be synthetized endogenously. Palmitoleic and oleic acids belong to different Ω-families of fatty acids and their structural differences may cause variations in their susceptibility to enzyme and free oxygen species attacks. These characteristics may also determine the physiological role of abovementioned acids. This article is dedicated to analysis of peculiar features of human monounsaturated fatty acids metabolism in comparison with other fatty acids in normal and pathological conditions.
