Stearidonic acid
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Stearidonic acid (6Z,9Z,12Z,15Z-Octadecatetraenoic acid) is an orally active polyunsaturated fatty acid found in blackcurrant seed oil. Stearidonic acid can inhibit 5-lipoxygenase and reduce leukotriene and 5-HETE synthesis. Stearidonic acid can increase the content of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) in red blood cells. Stearidonic acid can be used for the research of metabolic disease.

Stearidonic acid (10-20 μM; 30 min) inhibits 5-lipoxygenase pathway product formation in isolated human leukocytes, with 20 μM reducing leukotriene synthesis by 50% and 10 μM reducing leukotriene synthesis by 35%[1].
Stearidonic acid (10-100 μM; 30 min) induces dose-dependent inhibition of 5-HETE formation in isolated human leukocytes, with 100 μM reducing 5-HETE levels by 45%[1].
