Note
Wherever possible, you should prepare and use solutions on the same day. However, if you need to make up stock solutions in advance, we recommend that you store the solution as aliquots in tightly sealed vials at -20°C.

Product Description
All-cis-7,10,13,16,19-Docosapentaenoic acid,also called DPA, is a fatty acid derived from fish oils that effectly inhibits platelet aggregation. DPA has been reported to stimulate the lipoxygenase pathway and block the cyclooxygenase pathway , which leads to effective platelet aggregation inhibition. Peripheral blood mononuclear cell research demonstrates that DPA decreases cyclooxygenase-2 levels intracellularly and inhibits pro-inflammatory prostaglandin E2 production. Studies point out that the compound is important in the cubic membrane formation of mitochondria found in amoeba Chaos. A fatty acid use to inhibit platelet aggregation
