General description

5-PAHSA-d9 or 5-[((13,13,14,14,15,15,16,16,16-d9)palmitoyl)hydroxy]-stearic acid is a deuterated palmitoyl hydroxy-stearic acid wherein the nine protons of palmitoyl are replaced by deuterium. Palmitic acid-5-hydroxy-stearic acid (5-PAHSA) is the most downregulated fatty acid ester of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFA) found in adipose tissues and in the serum of insulin-resistant mice.
PAHSA levels correlate highly with insulin sensitivity and are reduced in adipose tissue and serum of insulin-resistant humans. In adipocytes, PAHSAs signal through GPR120 to enhance insulin-stimulated glucose uptake. Thus, FAHFAs are endogenous lipids with the potential to treat type 2 diabetes. Avanti has obtained a license from the patent holder to manufacture these products for research use.

A recently discovered class of endogenous mammalian lipids, branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), possesses anti-diabetic and anti-inflammatory activities. Here, we identified and validated carboxyl ester lipase (CEL), a pancreatic enzyme hydrolyzing cholesteryl esters and other dietary

Increased adipose tissue lipogenesis is associated with enhanced insulin sensitivity. Mice overexpressing the Glut4 glucose transporter in adipocytes have elevated lipogenesis and increased glucose tolerance despite being obese with elevated circulating fatty acids. Lipidomic analysis of adipose tissue revealed the
