Docosatetraenoic Acid is one of these Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids:
– Linoleic Acid
– Gamma Linolenic Acid
– Eicosadienoic Acid
– Dihomogamma Linolenic Acid
– Arachidonic Acid
– Docasadienoic
– Docosatetraenoic Acid
Docosatetraenoic acid is also known as Adrenic acid / Adrenate.
Docosatetraenoic acid is a member of the class of compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids.
Fatty acids belong to one of three types or families: saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated. These names describe the structure of the fatty acid in terms of whether it is fully loaded with hydrogen.
