Hexadecylic Acid
Hexadecylic Acid Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
A common saturated fatty acid found in fats and waxes including olive oil, palm oil, and body lipids.
Palmitic acid is the first fatty acid produced during lipogenesis (fatty acid synthesis) and from which longer fatty acids can be produced. Palmitate negatively feeds back on acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) which is responsible for converting acetyl-ACP to malonyl-ACP on the growing acyl chain, thus preventing further palmitate generation
