General description
Eicosapentaenoic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) and is synthesized from linolenic acid. It is distributed in phospholipid bilayers of the cell membrane, synaptic membranes of the brain and retina.[1] It is obtained majorly from fish oil, seaweed, phytoplankton, and camelina.[2] Being an Omega-3 fatty acid, it shows cis-trans conformations.[3]
Application
cis-5,8,11,14,17-Eicosapentaenoic acid has been used:
- to test pharmacologic effect on steatosis in hepatocytes[4]
- as an analytical standard in Raman spectra measurements to characterize human breast cancer samples[5]
- in lipid peroxidation assay in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and in pre-treatment of cells for cell viability studies[6]
