Product Introduction:

Description Palmitoleic acid, or (Z)-9-hexadecenoic acid, is an omega - 7 mono unsaturated fatty acid with the formula CH3(CH2)5CH=CH(CH2)7COOH that is a common constituent of the glycerides of human adipose tissue. It is present in all tissues, but generally found in higher concentrations in the liver. It is biosynthesized from palmitic acid by the action of the enzyme delta-9 desaturase. A beneficial fatty acid, it has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity by suppressing inflammation, as well as inhibit the destruction of insulin-secreting pancreatic beta cells.

Uses Palmitoleic acid is used in organic synthesis, and as a standard in chromatographic analysis.

Uses Palmitoleic Acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid which contributes to reduced protein oxidation in mammals.
