10-octadecenoic acid
Description
10-octadecenoic acid, also known as cis-10-octadecenoic acid, is a monounsaturated fatty acid with the formula CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)9COOH. It is found in various animal fats and vegetable oils, including milk fat, butter, and palm oil. Studies have shown that 10-octadecenoic acid can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on human health. For example, it has been shown to reduce blood pressure and cholesterol levels. However, it may also contribute to inflammation and promote the growth of certain types of cancer cells. 10-octadecenoic acid is typically studied to better understand its role in human health and metabolism. Its synthesis involves a series of enzymatic reactions that convert saturated fatty acids into unsaturated fatty acids. The importance of 10-octadecenoic acid lies in its potential to be a therapeutic agent for certain health conditions. Further research is needed to fully understand its effects and potential applications.'
