Phytanic acid, an inconclusive phytol metabolite: A review [PDF]
Current Research in Toxicology, 2023 Phytanic acid (PA: 3,7,11,15-tetramethylhexadecanoic acid) is an important biometabolite of the chlorophyll-derived diterpenoid phytol. Its biological sources (occurrence) and ADME (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination) profile are well ...

Effect of phytol in forage on phytanic acid content in cow’s milk [PDF]
Animal Bioscience, 2021 Objective Bioactive compounds in ruminant products are related to functional compounds in their diets. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the effect of forage sources, Italian ryegrass (IR) silage vs corn silage (CS) in the total mixed ration (TMR ...

Phytol/Phytanic acid and insulin resistance: potential role of phytanic acid proven by docking simulation and modulation of biochemical alterations. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 Since activation of PPARγ is the main target for the antidiabetic effect of TZDs, especially when it heterodimerizes with RXR, we aimed to test the potential antidiabetic effect of phytol (250 mg/kg), the natural precursor of phytanic acid, a RXR ligand ...

Effect of dairy fat on plasma phytanic acid in healthy volunteers - a randomized controlled study [PDF]
Lipids in Health and Disease, 2011 Background Phytanic acid produced in ruminants from chlorophyll may have preventive effects on the metabolic syndrome, partly due to its reported RXR and PPAR- α agonist activity.

Effects of dietary phytol and phytanic acid in animals
Journal of Lipid Research, 1966 Feeding of phytol in large doses (2-5% by weight in the diet) led to accumulation of phytanic acid in the mouse, rat, rabbit, and chinchilla, the degree of accumulation depending upon the level of dietary intake.

Dilated cardiomyopathy revealing Refsum disease: a case report [PDF]
Journal of Medical Case ReportsBackground Refsum disease is a rare autosomal recessive hereditary disorder of lipid metabolism that results in the accumulation of phytanic acid. This syndrome is characterized with a range of classic symptoms including ataxia, peripheral neuropathy ...

A unique case of microspherophakia in adult Refsum disease [PDF]
American Journal of Ophthalmology Case ReportsAdult Refsum disease (RD) is a rare autosomal recessive peroxisomal disorder with an estimated prevalence of fewer than 1 in 1 million. The ocular manifestations result from the accumulation of phytanic acid, leading to retinitis pigmentosa, attenuated ...
