Higher aliphatic 2,4-diketones: a ubiquitous lipid class with chelating properties, in search of a physiological function
A group of homologous 2,4-diketones with chain lengths from C13 to C25, derived from fatty acids, is present in human and mammalian tissues and urine. The presence of this lipid class, members of which possess marked chelating properties, adequately accounts for the well-documented antiallergic acti...
