Product Information

• Name: DL-α-Methylpentadecanoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: DL-alpha-Methylpentadecanoic acid is a fatty acid that is metabolized in the body, and it is a component of many other lipids. The hydroxy group on DL-alpha-Methylpentadecanoic acid reacts with dobutamine to form a reaction solution. This reaction solution can be used to make angiography images of blood vessels in the heart. It has been shown that DL-alpha-Methylpentadecanoic acid inhibits insulin resistance by decreasing the uptake of glucose into cells and increasing insulin sensitivity. It also slows down stenosis caused by radiation or exposure to an inorganic acid such as nitric oxide, which is often used in chemotherapy.
