Figure 2 Dietary and metabolic flow of pentadecanoic acid (C15:0).
Major exogenous pathway for pentadecanoic acid: Microbial synthesis in ruminants yields C15:0-rich milk fat that, once ingested, produces characteristic circulating C15:0 signatures usable as objective dairy-intake biomarkers. OCSFAs: Odd-chain saturated fatty acids.
