[HTML][HTML] Pentadecanoic and heptadecanoic acids: multifaceted odd-chain fatty acids
M Pfeuffer, A Jaudszus - Advances in nutrition, 2016 - Elsevier
The odd-chain fatty acids (OCFAs) pentadecanoic acid (15: 0) and heptadecanoic acid (17:
0), which account for only a small proportion of total saturated fatty acids in milk fat and
ruminant meat, are accepted biomarkers of dairy fat intake. However, they can also be
synthesized endogenously, for example, from gut-derived propionic acid (3: 0). A number of
studies have shown an inverse association between OCFA concentrations in human plasma
phospholipids or RBCs and risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We propose …
