What's the difference between fad and fat?

Fad


Definition:

  • (n.) A hobby ; freak; whim.

Example Sentences:

  • (3) RR spectra of fatty acyl-CoA and its complexes are consistent with the previous hypothesis that visible spectral shifts observed during formation of acetoacetyl-CoA and crotonyl-CoA complexes of fatty acyl-CoA dehydrogenase result from charge-transfer interactions in which the ground state is essentially nonbonding as opposed to interactions in which complete electron transfer occurs to form FAD semiquinone.

  • (17) It had been shown that thyroxine regulates the conversion of riboflavin to riboflavin mononucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) in laboratory animals.
  • (18) The value of P of the enzyme is dependent on its concentration, indicating that the degrees of dissociation of FAD in the monomer and dimer are different.
  • (19) We now provide evidence for a major early onset FAD locus on the long arm of chromosome 14 near the markers D14S43 and D14S53 (multipoint lod score z = 23.4) and suggest that the inheritance of FAD may be more complex than had initially been suspected.
  • (20) Thus, the low activity resulting from an inherited deficiency of FAD is decreased further.
