Use
Nervonic acid is a fatty acid. It is particularly abundant in the white matter of animal brains and in peripheral nervous tissue where nervonyl sphingolipids are enriched in the myelin sheath of nerve fibers. It is one of the major fatty acids in brain sphingolipids, normally accounting for approximately 40% of the total fatty acids in sphingolipids. Nervonic acid is very important in the biosynthesis of the nerve cell myelin and, together with lignoceric acid, it makes up 60% of the fatty acids acylated to the sphingomyelin of white matter. Amounts of nervonic acid acylated to sphingolipids, such as sphingomyelin, are highly decreased in demyelinating diseases such as adrenoleukodystrophy and multiple sclerosis and supplements rich in this fatty acid have been used to help treat these demyelination disorders. In chronic kidney disease nervonic acid has been demonstrated to be a marker for mortality.
