Branched fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs), endogenous lipids influenced by fasting and high-fat diets, are linked to improved insulin sensitivity in mice. These molecules consist of a C-16 or C-18 fatty acid (e.g., palmitoleic, palmitic, oleic, or stearic acid) bonded to a C-16 or C-18 hydroxy fatty acid. A specific FAHFA, 5-POHSA, features palmitoleic acid esterified with hydroxy stearic acid at the 5th carbon. Elevated levels of 5-POHSA in the serum of AG4OX mice, which expres... |
