8 (Z),14 (Z) -Eicosadienoic Acid

This minor ω-8 C20:2 fatty acid, found at 0.19% in human milk, is a metabolic precursor to vasoactive eicosatrienoic acids via desaturation. Its direct physiological roles are uncharacterized, making it a compound of interest for research in lipid metabolism, vascular biology, and eicosanoid signaling pathways in both in vitro and in vivo models.
