Common Name | Eicosapentaenoic acid |

Description | Eicosapentaenoic acid, also known as eicosapentaenoate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as long-chain fatty acids. These are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbon atoms. In chemical structure, EPA is a carboxylic acid with a 20-carbon chain and five cis double bonds; the first double bond is located at the third carbon from the omega end. Eicosapentaenoic acid is a very hydrophobic molecule, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral. Within humans, eicosapentaenoic acid participates in a number of enzymatic reactions. In particular, eicosapentaenoic acid can be biosynthesized from cis-8,11,14,17-eicosatetraenoic acid; which is catalyzed by the enzyme fatty acid desaturase 1. In addition, eicosapentaenoic acid can be converted into docosapentaenoic acid (22N-3); which is mediated by the enzyme elongation OF very long chain fatty acids protein 5. In humans, eicosapentaenoic acid is involved in alpha linolenic acid and linoleic acid metabolism. Outside of the human body, Eicosapentaenoic acid is found, on average, in the highest concentration within a few different foods, such as atlantic menhadens, bearded seals, and spotted seals and in a lower concentration in french plantains, wakames, and breakfast cereals. Eicosapentaenoic acid has also been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as garden rhubarbs, cocktails, garden cress, capers, and thistles. This could make eicosapentaenoic acid a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. In physiological literature, it is given the name 20:5(N-3). Nutriceutical with antioxidation props. It is obtained in the human diet by eating oily fish or fish oil— e.G., Cod liver, herring, mackerel, salmon, menhaden and sardine. Present in fish oils as an acylglycerol and in animal phospholipids. It is also found in human breast milk. . EPA is a biomarker for the consumption of salt-water fish. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA or also icosapentaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid. Eicosapentaenoic acid is found in Arbacia punctulata, Giffordia mitchellae, Homo sapiens (Serum), Ptilota filicina, Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus, Sarcophyton trocheliophorum, Suberites massa, Tornabea scutellifera, Tripneustes ventricosus, Vesicularia ferriei and Zonaria tournefortii. It also has the trivial name timnodonic acid. | Read more...
