Description
An ω-7 monounsaturated fatty acid; increases basal and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake and Glut4 protein levels in 3T3-L1 adipocytes at 200 µM; ex vivo, increases glucose uptake and aerobic and anaerobic glycolysis and reduces de novo fatty acid synthesis and activity of the lipogenic enzymes ACL and G6PDH in isolated murine adipocytes at 300 mg/kg; dietary administration reduces high-fat diet-induced insulin resistance and liver inflammation in mice at 300 mg/kg
