General description
PAHSA levels correlate highly with insulin sensitivity and are reduced in adipose tissue and serum of insulin-resistant humans. In adipocytes, PAHSAs signal through GPR120 to enhance insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Thus, FAHFAs are endogenous lipids with the potential to treat type 2 diabetes. Avanti has obtained a license from the patent holder to manufacture these products for research use.
9-PAHSA-d9 9-[((13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-d9)palmitoyl)hydroxy]-stearic acid is a deuterated palmitoyl hydroxy-stearic acid wherein the nine protons of palmitoyl are replaced by deuterium. Palmitic acid-9-hydroxy-stearic acid (9-PAHSA)is the most abundantly found fatty acid ester of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFA).
