Haidut: Palmitic Acid (palmitate) Is A Fatty Acid Oxidation Inhibitor More Powerful Than Mildronate
- (Obviously) Palmitic acid is unusual in that activates Pyruvate Dehydrogenase.
- In this sense, studies on obesity comparing equicalorie amounts of SFA and PUFA could show the latter as less obesogenic as SFA might optimize glucose metabolism.

The saturated fatty acid, palmitic acid, induces anxiety-like behavior in mice (46pgs.)
-
- Remember, “anxiety” can just mean restlessness and a desire to move and be active.
- Dose-dependent 33% increase in Amygdala 5-HIAA. 42% increase in the Dopamine:DOPAC ratio in Hippocampus. Decreases spontaneous locomotor activity.
- 24 hrs after palmitic acid administration the hippocampal DA:DOPAC ratio was elevated in the hippocampus and that the 5-HT:5-HIAA ratio was elevated in the amygdala

Simple, Non-invasive Test For Adrogenic / Estrogenic Tone
- Palmitate/Stearate ratio = androgenicity, and below 1 = relative estrogenicity.
