Nervonic acid improves fat transplantation by promoting adipogenesis and angiogenesis. [PDF]
Int J Mol MedAdipose tissue engraftment has become a promising strategy in the field of regenerative surgery; however, there are notable challenges associated with it, such as resorption of 50‑90% of the transplanted fat or cyst formation due to fat necrosis after fat transplantation.

Diversity in seed oil content and fatty acid composition in Acer species with potential as sources of nervonic acid [PDF]
Plant Diversity, 2021 Nervonic acid (NA, cis-15-tetracosenoic acid) is a very long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid that has been shown to be a core component of nerve fibers and nerve cells. It can be used to treat and prevent many neurological diseases.

Preparation, Digestion, and Storage of Microencapsulated Nervonic Acid-Enriched Structured Phosphatidylcholine. [PDF]
MoleculesThis study focuses on the encapsulation of nervonic acid-enriched structured phospholipid (NA-enriched SPL) by analysing its physical and chemical properties. Wall materials for encapsulation were initially screened, with whey protein isolate and maltodextrin exhibiting the most favourable characteristics.

Nervonic acid amends motor disorder in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease. [PDF]
Transl Neurosci, 2022 Abstract Objectives Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a kind of common neurodegenerative disease in the world. Previous studies have proved that nervonic acid (NA), extracted from Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge, has the potentials of neuroprotection. However, the effect of NA on the PD remained unknown.

Transcriptome analysis reveals crucial genes involved in the biosynthesis of nervonic acid in woody Malania oleifera oilseeds [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2018 Background Malania oleifera Chun et Lee (Olacaceae), an evergreen broad-leaved woody tree native to southwest China, is an important oilseed tree. Its seed oil has a high level of nervonic acid (cis-tetracos-15-enoic acid, over 60%), which is essential ...

Combinatorial Effects of Fatty Acid Elongase Enzymes on Nervonic Acid Production in Camelina sativa. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2015 Very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) with chain lengths of 20 carbons and longer provide feedstocks for various applications; therefore, improvement of VLCFA contents in seeds has become an important goal for oilseed enhancement.
