11-Eicosenoic

Eicosenoic acid has recently been reported as one of the five biomarkers for diagnosis of schizophrenia:

• Eicosenoic acid
• Glycerate
• Beta-hydroxybutyrate
• Pyruvate
• Cystine

Eicosenoic acid is one of the metabolites produced from the degradation of fatty acids. Long-chain fatty acids are fatty acids with an aliphatic tail that contains between 13 and 21 carbonatoms. 11-Eicosenoic acid is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound. 11Z-Eicosenoic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid found in a variety of plant oils. It is also found in the red cell membrane with increased concentrations in children with regressive autism.
