The directed movement of medium-chain fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Medium-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with a chain length of between 8 and 12 carbons. The directed movement of monocarboxylic acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of carboxylic acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Carboxylic acids are organic acids containing one or more carboxyl (COOH) groups or anions (COO-). The directed movement of short-chain fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Short-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with a chain length of less than 8 carbons. The directed movement of lipids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Lipids are compounds soluble in an organic solvent but not, or sparingly, in an aqueous solvent. The directed movement of substances (such as macromolecules, small molecules, ions) into, out of, within or between cells, or within a multicellular organism by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. The directed movement of fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Fatty acids are aliphatic monocarboxylic acids liberated from naturally occurring fats and oils by hydrolysis. The directed movement of long-chain fatty acids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. A long-chain fatty acid is an aliphatic compound with a terminal carboxyl group and with a chain length greater than C12. Any process by which a lipid is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The directed movement of icosanoids into, out of, within or between cells by means of some external agent such as a transporter or pore. Icosanoids are unsaturated C20 fatty acids and skeletally related compounds.
