Fatty Acids

Certain chronic neurologic disorders, such as Parkinson's disease, are caused by an insufficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine secondary to the degeneration of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons.

N-Decanoyl p-nitroaniline (DepNA) is one of several nitroaniline fatty acid amides which can be used to measure fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) activity.

Nervonic acid (24:1n-9) is a very long chain fatty acid produced by elongation of oleic acid (18:1n-9) and derived from erucic acid (22:1n-9).

Octacosanoic acid methyl ester is a very long-chain fatty acid methyl ester that has been found in transesterified palm oil.

Octanoyl-L-carnitine is a medium-chain acylcarnitine and the physiologically active form of octanoyl-DL-carnitine.

Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid and is one of the major components of membrane phospholipids.

Oleic anhydride is a fatty acid anhydride that inhibits sphingosine-induced phosphorylation of p32 in Jurkat T cells when used at concentrations ranging from 30 to 100 μM.

Fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH) is the enzyme responsible for hydrolysis and inactivation of fatty acid amides including anandamide and oleamide.

Oleoyl-L-carnitine is a naturally occurring long-chain acylcarnitine.

Saturated fatty acids are synthesized by both plants and animals from acetyl coenzyme A as a form of long-term energy storage.

Palmitoleic acid is an ω-7 monounsaturated fatty acid that is a common constituent of the triglycerides of human adipose tissue.

Palmitoyl-D-carnitine is a long-chain acylcarnitine, an isomer of palmitoyl-L-carnitine, and the D enantiomer of palmitoyl-DL-carnitine.

Ricinoleic acid is a naturally occurring 12-hydroxy fatty acid and constitutes about 90% of the fatty acids in castor oil.

Ricinoleic acid is a naturally occurring 12-hydroxy fatty acid.

Sulfosuccinimidyl myristate is an inhibitor of fatty acid transport.

SW203668 is an irreversible inhibitor of stearoyl-CoA desaturase (IC50 = 54 nM).

Very long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (VLCPUFAs) are important components of ceramides and sphingomyelin and are present in retina, sperm, and brain.

Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes depend on small signalling molecules for cell-cell communication.

Triacontanoic acid methyl ester is a fatty acid methyl ester that has been found in sediment samples from the Harney River in Florida and Lake Kivu in the East African rift valley.

Tricosanoic acid methyl ester is a long-chain saturated fatty acid methyl ester, which is a waxy solid at room temperature.

α-Linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential fatty acid found in leafy green vegetables.
