C20 ARACIDIC ACID AND CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES:
Because C20 Aracidic Acid is found in a variety of nuts and oils, several studies have analyzed the impact of C20 Aracidic Acid in the diet on human health.
Research has shown that intake of peanuts and macadamia nuts increase VLCSFAs both in the membrane of erythrocytes (red blood cells) and systemically and are associated with a decreased risk of incident sudden cardiac arrest.

Additional research has demonstrated that increased levels of circulating C20 Aracidic Acid and other VLCSFAs are associated with a lower risk of heart failure, abnormal heart rhythm, coronary heart disease, and sudden cardiac arrest.

C20 Aracidic Acid and other VLSFAs may therefore act as biomarkers for cardiovascular system health.
Additionally, C20 Aracidic Acid is a precursor to eicosanoids, long-chain fatty acids that possess anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting properties, which can help protect against cardiovascular diseases.

C20 ARACIDIC ACID AND DIABETES:
Several studies have found that elevated levels of C20 Aracidic Acid in erythrocytes and systemically are also associated with a lower risk for type 2 diabetes4, which significantly raises a person’s risk for cardiovascular disease.
However, the mechanistic details of this association are at present not well understood, and more research is needed.

C20 ARACIDIC ACID AND NEUROLOGICAL HEALTH:
Recent studies have shown that C20 Aracidic Acid is a fatty acid component of phosphatidylglucoside (PtdGlc).
This phospholipid is found in the plasma membrane of neutrophils and is an enriched lipid in the brain.
It is thought to be involved in cell-cell interactions, central nervous system signaling, and brain development.

Dietary intake of the lipid PtdGlc has been associated with decreased cognitive deficits and hippocampal neuroinflammation4, and more research is being done to further elucidate the relationship between this compound and human health and disease.

The Impact of Lifestyle Factors on Circulating C20 Aracidic Acid and Other VLCSFAs
Given the connection between circulating VLCSFA levels and cardiometabolic health, researchers have suggested that diet and other lifestyle factors may be leveraged to positively impact VLCSFA levels.

A recent systemic review5 identified several important associations.
Total fat and peanut intake were associated with consistently higher levels of circulating VLCSFAs; conversely, alcohol consumption had a negative impact.

Physical activity also increased VLCSFAs levels, although not to the same extent as diet.
While the mechanistic link is not clear, these studies suggest that generally healthier lifestyle habits may improve cardiometabolic health by increasing the circulating levels of VLCSFAs, including C20 Aracidic Acid.
