Branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are lipids that are modulated by dietary changes such as fasting and high-fat diets, and they play a role in insulin sensitivity. These compounds generally consist of a fatty acid chain of either 16 or 18 carbons (for example, palmitoleic, palmitic, oleic, or stearic acid) esterified to a similarly long hydroxy fatty acid. One specific FAHFA, 9-SAHSA, features stearic acid esterified at the 9th carbon of hydroxy stearic acid. The concentration of 9-SAHSA is notably increased in the serum of glucose-tolerant AG4OX mice, which specifically express the Glut4 glucose-transporting protein in adipose tissue.
