Message definition (Fatty acid)
The notation Δ<sup>''x'',''y'',...</sup> is traditionally used to specify a fatty acid with double bonds at positions ''x'',''y'',.... (The capital Greek letter "Δ" ([[Delta (letter)|delta]]) corresponds to [[Latin alphabet|Roman]] "D", for '''D'''ouble bond). Thus, for example, the 20-carbon [[arachidonic acid]] is Δ<sup>5,8,11,14</sup>, meaning that it has double bonds between carbons 5 and 6, 8 and 9, 11 and 12, and 14 and 15.

The notation Δx,y,... is traditionally used to specify a fatty acid with double bonds at positions x,y,.... (The capital Greek letter "Δ" (delta) corresponds to Roman "D", for Double bond). Thus, for example, the 20-carbon arachidonic acid is Δ5,8,11,14, meaning that it has double bonds between carbons 5 and 6, 8 and 9, 11 and 12, and 14 and 15.
