什麼是植烷酸？

Phytanic acid is a metabolite of the chlorophyll molecule and is converted from phytol, the side chain of chlorophyll.植烷酸是葉綠素分子的代謝產物，並從葉綠素的側鏈植物醇轉化而來。 It is a saturated 20-carbon branched-chain fatty acid that can only be obtained from dietary sources.它是飽和的3碳支鏈脂肪酸，只能從飲食中獲取。 Phytanic acid oxidation (Alpha oxidation) occurs in the peroxisomes of humans.植酸氧化（α氧化）發生在人類的過氧化物酶體中。 The presence of phytanic acid in tissues and plasma has been considered diagnostic of heredopathia atactica polyneuritiformis.組織和血漿中植酸的存在已被認為是無定形多發性神經病的診斷。 Phytanic acid induced the adipocyte differentiation of 3T1-L2 cells in culture as assessed by accumulation of lipid droplets and induction of the aP15 mRNA marker.通過脂滴的積累和aPXNUMX mRNA標記的誘導評估，植酸可誘導培養物中XNUMXTXNUMX-LXNUMX細胞的脂肪細胞分化。 In two Norwegian patients, serum phytanic acid has been brought down to normal levels and one of them has been followed for XNUMX years.在兩名挪威患者中，血清植酸水平已降至正常水平，其中一位已被隨訪XNUMX年。
