cis-10-Heptadecenoic Acid(CAT: R066634) is a monounsaturated fatty acid with a double bond in the cis configuration at the tenth carbon atom from the carboxyl end. This fatty acid is less commonly found in nature but is present in some plant oils and animal fats. It has been studied for its potential biological roles and effects on human health, particularly in relation to lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. As with other monounsaturated fatty acids, cis-10-Heptadecenoic Acid may have beneficial effects on reducing inflammation and improving cholesterol profiles, contributing to heart health. Its unique structure also makes it of interest in lipid research and the development of specialized nutritional products.
