8(Z),14(Z)-<wbr></wbr>Eicosadienoic Acid is an ω-<wbr></wbr>8 C20:2 fatty acid. The presence of 8(Z),14(Z)-<wbr></wbr>eicosadienoic acid has been detected in human milk at a level of 0.19% (weight % total fatty acids). Eicosadienoic acids are converted by desaturases, in vivo, to eicosatrienoic acids, which are potent vasodilators. The physiological effects of 8(Z),14(Z)-<wbr></wbr>eicosadienoic acid are unstudied.
