| Application: | 5-PAHSA is composed of palmitic acid attached to stearic acid and is in the class of branched lipids referred to as fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs). 5-PAHSA was found at reduced levels in adipose tissue and serum of insulin-resistant mice. Levels were also found to be lower in white adipose tissue and serum of humans. Studies of oral administration of 5-PAHSA to obese, diabetic mice showed improved glucose tolerance. In characterizing the mechanism, it was found that 5-PAHSA stimulates insulin and GLP-1 secretion and also enhances glucose transport and the Glut4 transporter through activation of GPR-120. |
