Description: Arachidic acid (Icosanoic Acid) is a saturated fatty acid found naturally in fish and vegetable oils (such as those from peanuts). It can also be formed by the hydrogenation of arachidonic acid. Diets rich in saturated fatty acids, such as arachidic acid, are known to increase serum low-density...

Arachidic acid is a long-chain saturated fatty acid that has been found in peanut butter and anaerobic fungi. It inhibits rabbit neutrophil aggregation induced by N-formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine (fMLP, Cay-21495) when used at a concentration of 5 µM. Formulations containing arachidic acid have been used as...
