Document of the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (CBN) approved by IUPAC and IUB in 1976, and published with the cooperation of the IUB Commission of Editors of Biochemical Journals. Comments on these Recommendations and suggestions for future revisions may be sent to any member of CBN
These Recommendations are a revision and extension of “The Nomenclature of Lipids,” which appeared in 1967, as amended in 1970
