| About the compound: | Palmitelaidic acid is a 16-carbon fatty acid characterized by a straight-chain structure, monounsaturation, and a trans-double bond at position C-9. As the trans-isomer of palmitoleic acid, it is the predominant trans-16:1 isomer found in cheeses derived from goat and ewe milk. Major dietary sources include partially hydrogenated vegetable oils. Functionally, it is both a monounsaturated fatty acid and a long-chain fatty acid. 9-Hexadecenoic acid, a natural product, is identified in various organisms, including Myrmekioderma rea and Curcuma longa, based on available data. This compound contributes to the chemical makeup of these organisms and may play a role in their biological functions. Palmitoleic acid, or (9Z)-hexadec-9-enoic acid, is an omega-7 monounsaturated fatty acid (16:1n-7). It is a relatively rare component of fats but is commonly present in the glycerides of human adipose tissue. With a chemical formula of CH3(CH2)5CH=CH(CH2)7COOH, palmitoleic acid is biosynthesized from palmitic acid through the action of the enzyme Stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1. Studies, particularly in animals and cell cultures, suggest that palmitoleic acid exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and improves insulin sensitivity in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, further research is required to establish its effects in humans. Many of the observed effects are attributed to its activation of PPAR-alpha, highlighting its potential significance in various physiological processes GHS Hazard Statements • H400 (100%): Very toxic to aquatic life [Warning Hazardous to the aquatic environment, acute hazard] • H410 (100%): Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects [Warning Hazardous to the aquatic environment, long-term hazard] |
