Lauric Acid-13C

Description: Lauric acid-13C is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of lauric acid by GC- or LC-MS. Lauric acid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid. It has been found at high levels in coconut oil.1Lauric acid induces the activation of NF-kappaB and the expression of COX-2, inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), and IL-1alpha in RAW 264.7 cells when used at a concentration of 25 µM.2. Smiles: CCCCCCCCCCC[13C](O)=O.
