    Product Description

    5-PAHSA is a FAHFA in which palmitic acid is esterified at the 5th carbon of hydroxy stearic acid. PAHSA isoforms are the most abundant forms of FAHFA identified in the adipose tissue of glucose tolerant AG4OX mice.1 PAHSAs are synthesized in vivo in both mice and humans and are regulated by fasting and high-fat feeding in mice.1 PAHSA levels correlate highly with insulin sensitivity and are reduced in adipose tissue and serum of insulin-resistant humans. PAHSA administration lowers ambient glycemia, improves glucose tolerance, and stimulates GLP-1 and insulin secretion in mice.1

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
