    Product Description

    1-Docosahexaenoyl-rac-glycerol is a monoacylglycerol that contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; Item Nos. 90310 | 17950) at the sn-1 position. It reduces smooth muscle tension induced by endothelin-1 (ET-1) in isolated human pulmonary arteries (HPAs) when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 30 µM.1 1-Docosahexaenoyl-rac-glycerol also reduces ET-1-induced increases in HPA cell proliferation and VEGF levels.

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
