γ-Linolenyl alcohol (CAS 24149-05-1)
QUICK LINKS
γ-Linolenyl alcohol, known as oleic acid, is an omega-9 monounsaturated fatty acid. It is highly abundant and widely distributed in nature, found in various food sources like olive oil and animal fats. Oleic acid plays a role in numerous biological processes, including inflammation, energy production, and cell membrane formation. Additionally, it serves as a precursor to eicosanoids, which are hormones responsible for regulating the body′s response to inflammation and other stressors. The mechanism of action of oleic acid is intricate and not fully elucidated. Oleic acid acts as a ligand for nuclear receptors, proteins that modulate gene expression. Moreover, it has been suggested that oleic acid may possess antioxidant properties, acting as a scavenger of free radicals and safeguarding against oxidative damage.
