Description

(5Z,8Z,11Z)-5,8,11-Icosatrienoic acid is a fatty acid that has anti-angiogenic effects. This compound is synthesized from arachidonic acid by the enzyme delta-5-desaturase and inhibits the formation of new blood vessels by promoting the death of endothelial cells. The synthesis of (5Z,8Z,11Z)-5,8,11-Icosatrienoic acid in liver cells is stimulated by an increase in body mass index and a decrease in fatty acids. This molecule has been shown to have physiological effects on brain function and to have anti-inflammatory properties. It also binds to the CB2 receptor.
