Palmitoleic acid

Palmitoleic Acid Application Notes Palmitoleic acid (C16:1 n-7) was shown in diabetic mice to attenuate hyperglycemia and hypertriglyceridemia by increasing insulin sensitivity, in part owing to suppression of pro-inflammatory gene expressions and improving hepatic lipid metabolism. It was shown to possibly influence fatty liver deposition/production, insulin action, palmitate, and fatty acid synthase, leading to proposal of a new term, "lipokine" having hormone-like effects.
