1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl glycerol is a triacylglycerol that contains palmitic acid at the sn-1 and sn-3 positions and docosahexaenoic acid at the sn-2 position. Dietary administration of 1,3-dipalmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl glycerol (30 g/kg) reduces hepatic triglyceride and cholesterol levels in mice.¹

1,3-Palmitin-2-docosahexaenoin (1,3-Dipalmitoyl-2-docosahexaenoyl glycerol) is the isomer of triacylglycerol (TAG), in which docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is located at the β position (sn-2) of the glycerol backbone. 1,3-Palmitin-2-docosahexaenoin inhibits fatty acid synthase and cholesterol metabolism enzymes, activates carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) in liver mitochondria and promotes β-oxidation of fatty acids. 1,3-Palmitin-2-docosahexaenoin exhibits lipid metabolism regulating activity[1].
