Common_NameCholesteryl nervonic acid
DescriptionCholesteryl nervonic acid is a cholesteryl ester. A cholesteryl ester is an ester of cholesterol. Fatty acid esters of cholesterol constitute about two-thirds of the cholesterol in the plasma. Cholesterol is a sterol (a combination steroid and alcohol) and a lipid found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and transported in the blood plasma of all animals. The accumulation of cholesterol esters in the arterial intima (the innermost layer of an artery, in direct contact with the flowing blood) is a characteristic feature of atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a disease affecting arterial blood vessels. It is a chronic inflammatory response in the walls of arteries, in large part to the deposition of lipoproteins (plasma proteins that carry cholesterol and triglycerides). Placental membrane changes in permeability to water, urea and mannitol in intrauterine growth restriction are related to changes in cholesterol fatty acid content of the membranes with a predominance of saturated fatty acid species such as nervonic acid. Nervonic acid may have preventive effects on obesity-related metabolic disorders. Lower levels of nervonic acid are found in all plasma lipid fractions from infants fed formula compared with those in the human milk-fed infants, irrespective of the source of the formula supplement.
