Abstract
Provided herein is technology relating to lipid compositions containing bioactive fatty acids and particularly, but not exclusively, to compositions and methods related to the production and use of structured lipid compositions containing sciadonic and/or pinoleic acid alone or in combination with other bioactive fatty acids including, but not limited to, eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, and non-β-oxidizable fatty acid analogues such as tetradecylthioacetic acid.
Claims9
A formulation comprising a lipid composition comprising acylglycerol molecules of the following structure:
- wherein R1, R2 and R3 are fatty acid moieties or —H such that said acylglycerol molecules comprise at least 20% w/w of at least one non-methylene-interrupted fatty acid moiety and at least 1% w/w of a second bioactive lipid moiety at one of positions R1, R2 and R3,
- said lipid composition formulated with a carrier for oral or topical administration wherein said carrier is not naturally associated with the acylglycerol molecules.
