11(Z),14(Z),17(Z)-Eicosatrienoic acid (Item No. 90192) is a rare w-3 PUFA in normal humans. However, it is one of the most active essential fatty acids when assayed for the inhibition of fatty acid elongation/desaturation reactions which convert dietary C-18 fatty acids to C-20 eicosanoid precursors.{8460} 11(Z),14(Z),17(Z)-Eicosatrienoic acid methyl ester is an ester version of the free acid that may be more amenable for the formulation of fatty acid-containing diets and dietary supplements.
