Notes: 3-hydroxy Octanoic acid is a hydroxylated fatty acid that has been found in LPS from P. aeruginosa and the methyl-branched poly(3-hydroxyalkanoate) (PHA) polymers produced by P. oleovorans.{31684,40824} It is an agonist of the orphan receptor GPR109B, increasing intracellular calcium in human neutrophils which endogenously express GPR109B.{41639} 3-hydroxy Octanoic acid prevents lipolysis of human adipocytes and is upregulated in human plasma in response to a ketogenic diet. Plasma levels of 3-hydroxy Octanoic acid also increase 3.41-fold in human male runners following a treadmill run to exhaustion as well as in a mouse model of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) fed a high-glycemic diet.{41640,41641} [Matreya, LLC.
