Product Information
Name:2-Palmitoylglycerol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:2-Palmitoylglycerol is a monoacylglycerol that is synthesized from the breakdown of dietary fats. It is also synthesized in tissues through the action of phospholipase A2 and diacylglycerol acyltransferase. 2-Palmitoylglycerol has been shown to bind to the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1), which leads to activation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα). This activation induces gene expression changes that lead to increased fatty acid oxidation and decreased triglyceride synthesis in liver cells. 2-Palmitoylglycerol has been shown to reduce body weight gain and increase insulin sensitivity in mice models on high fat diets.
2-Palmitoylglycerol has also been shown to increase butyrate, a short chain fatty acid, levels in rats with metabolic disorders.
