• Synonyms: 1-O-Palmityl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1-O-Hexadecyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (1OHDGPC) is a compound that inhibits the uptake of oxidized LDL in neuronal cells and reduces neuronal death. 1OHDGPC also has antihypertensive activity, as it decreases systolic blood pressure. This compound is an antioxidant because it prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, which is the main cause of atherosclerosis. 1OHDGPC has been shown to reduce the incidence of allergic reactions in animal studies. It also has been shown to have hydroxyl groups and fatty acid chains, which may contribute to its antioxidant properties.
