General description

Methyl palmitoleate is a methyl ester of the monounsaturated fatty acid, palmitoleic acid.

Application

This analytical standard can also be used as follows:
  • Simultaneous determination of fatty acids in bovine colostrum samples by GC-FID after their derivatization to ester forms using an acidic catalyst boron trifluoride
  • Fatty acid analysis of biodiesel obtained from Datura stramonium Linn. by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS)

The goal of the present study was to determine whether topically applied fatty acid esters enter into epidermal lipid metabolism. Of special interest with respect to epidermal function were the linoleate-rich O-acylsphingolipids thought to be essential in maintenance of the

Long-chain saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids differ in their propensity to induce beta-cell death in vitro with palmitate (C16:0) being cytotoxic, whereas palmitoleate (C16:1n-7) is cytoprotective. We now show that this cytoprotective capacity extends to a poorly metabolised C16:1n-7 derivative
