• Brand: TRC
• Description: Stability Light SensitiveApplications Important polyunsaturated fatty acid of the marine food chain that serves as a precursor for the prostaglandin-3 and thromboxane-3 families. It differs from arachidonic acid (the eicosatetraenoic acid that is a precursor for the prostaglandin and thromboxane-2 families) by the extra double bond between the third and fourth carbons from the “methyl end” of the molecule. Antilipemic. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the packageReferences Bergstrom, S., et al.: J. Biol.
