|Section2= |Section3= }} Calendic acid (sometimes α-calendic acid) is an unsaturated fatty acid, named for the pot marigold (genus ''Calendula''), from which it is obtained. It is chemically similar to the conjugated linoleic acids; laboratory work suggests it may have similar health benefits. ==Biosynthesis== Calendic acid is an omega-6 fatty acid. though not usually listed with this group. Calendic acid is synthesised in ''Calendula officinalis'' from linoleate by an unusual Δ12-oleate desaturase (a FAD 2 variant) that converts the ''cis''-double bond in position 9 to a ''trans'',''trans''-conjugated double bond system. An ''all-trans'' beta isomer has been described.〔 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「calendic acid」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
