CAS 1002-84-2: Pentadecanoic acid

Pentadecanoic acid is a lipid used in proteomics research. It is also used as a biomarker for dietary milk intake. It can be labelled as a biomarker for myocardial fatty acid metabolism in ischemia/reperfusion studies.

The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.

Pentadecanoic acid

Applications Pentadecanoic acid is a saturated fatty acid. Pentadecanoic acid was utilized as a biomarker to examine for the intake of milk fat in relation to its metabolic risk factors. Pentadecanoic Acid that is also produced by certain plant species and acts as an toxic essential oil, which is known to exhibits potential anxiolytic, antinociceptive and antimicrobial properties.

Pentadecanoic acid is a fatty acid that is naturally present in the human body. It has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on the liver and can be used as a supplement to treat hepatic steatosis, which is caused by an excess of fat in the liver. This fatty acid also has hypoglycemic effects, which may be due to its ability to increase glucose uptake into skeletal muscle cells. Pentadecanoic acid has also been shown to be beneficial for cardiac health, as it can improve heart function and reduce blood pressure levels. In vitro assays have revealed that this fatty acid inhibits bacterial growth and can help prevent metabolic disorders such as obesity and diabetes. Pentadecanoic acid also helps maintain energy metabolism by inhibiting fatty acid oxidation and increasing carbohydrate oxidation.
