More information about OMEGA 7 (PALITOLEIC ACID)

Palmitoleic acid, or (Z)-9-hexadecenoic acid, is an omega 7 monounsaturated fatty acid that is a common constituent of the glycerides of human adipose tissue.  This is present in all tissues, but generally found in higher concentrations in the liver.  It is biosynthesized from palmitic acid by the action of the enzyme delta-9 desaturase.
Botanical sources of palmitoleic acid are extremely rare...in fact seabuckthorn is one of two sources (macadamian nuts).  In a recent study examining the effects of deits high in various fatty acids, total cholesterol and low density lipoprotien (LDL - bad cholesterol) concentrations were similar with palmitoleic and palmitic acids and significantly higher than with oleic acid.  High density lipoprotein (HDL - good cholesterol) was significantly lower with palmitoleic than with palmitic acid.  The study confirms that, at least in hypercholesterolemic men, a modest increase in palmitic acid raises LDL cholesterol relative to oleic acid, even when dietary cholesterol is low.  Palmitoleic acid behaves like a saturated and not a monosaturated fatty acid in its effect on LDL cholesterol.
