Metabolite Identification
Common NameLinoleic acid
DescriptionLinoleic acid, also known as LA or linoleate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as lineolic acids and derivatives. These are derivatives of lineolic acid. Lineolic acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 18 carbon long fatty acid, with two CC double bonds at the 9- and 12-positions. Linoleic acid exists as a liquid, very hydrophobic, practically insoluble (in water), and relatively neutral molecule. Linoleic acid exists in all living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans. Linoleic acid is a potentially toxic compound. Linoleic acid has been found to be associated with several diseases known as hypertension, ulcerative colitis, essential hypertension, and thyroid cancer; also linoleic acid has been linked to the inborn metabolic disorders including isovaleric acidemia.
