5,8,11,13,17-Eicosapentaenoicacid, 15-hydroxy-, (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E,17Z)-

Description:

5,8,11,13,17-Eicosapentaenoic acid, 15-hydroxy-, (5Z,8Z,11Z,13E,17Z)-, commonly known as a form of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), is a polyunsaturated fatty acid belonging to the omega-3 family. It is characterized by a long carbon chain consisting of 20 carbon atoms and five double bonds, which contribute to its unsaturated nature. The specific configuration of the double bonds, indicated by the Z and E designations, plays a crucial role in its biological activity and stability. This fatty acid is primarily found in marine oils, particularly from fish, and is known for its anti-inflammatory properties and potential health benefits, including cardiovascular health support and modulation of lipid metabolism. EPA is also a precursor for the synthesis of various bioactive lipid mediators, such as resolvins and protectins, which are involved in the resolution of inflammation. Its presence in dietary supplements and functional foods highlights its importance in nutrition and health.
