|Section2= }} Punicic acid (also called trichosanic acid) is a polyunsaturated fatty acid, 18:3 (n-5). It is named for the pomegranate, (''Punica granatum''), and is obtained from pomegranate seed oil. It is also found in the seed oils of snake gourd.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://www.cyberlipid.org/fa/acid0003.htm )〕 Punicic acid is a conjugated linolenic acid or CLnA; i.e. it has three conjugated double bonds. It is chemically similar to the conjugated linoleic acids, or CLA, which have two. In lab rats, it was found that punicic acid was converted to the CLA rumenic acid (9Z11E-CLA).〔 〕 In vitro, it shows anticancer activity against prostate cancer cells. OLETF rats—a strain which becomes obese—remained relatively lean when punicic acid was added to their feed. ==See also== * Polyunsaturated fatty acids—Conjugated fatty acids 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Punicic acid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
