- Background
An unsaturated fatty acid that is the most widely distributed and abundant fatty acid in nature. It is used commercially in the preparation of oleates and lotions, and as a pharmaceutical solvent. (Stedman, 26th ed)

Fatty acid uptake by different tissues may be mediated via passive diffusion to facilitated diffusion or a combination of both 2. Fatty acids taken up by tissues are then stored in the form of triglycerides or oxidized 2. Oleic acid was shown to penetrate rat skin 2. Following oral administration of Brucea javanica oil emulsion in rats, the time of oleic acid to reach peak plasma concentration was approximately 15.6 hours 1.
- Volume of distribution
Radio-labelled oleic acid was detected in the heart, liver, lung, spleen, kidney, muscle, intestine, adrenal, blood, and lymph, and adipose, mucosal, and dental tissues 2. Oleic acid is primarily transported via the lymphatic system 2.
- Protein binding
As with other fatty acids originating from adipose tissue stores, oleic acid may bind to serum albumin or remain unesterified in the blood 2.
- Metabolism
Like most fatty acids, oleic acid may undergo oxidation via beta-oxidation and tricarboxylic acid cycle pathways of catabolism, where an additional isomerization reaction is required for the complete catabolism of oleic acid. Via a series of elongation and desaturation steps, oleic acid may be converted into longer chain eicosatrienoic and nervonic acid 2.
- Route of elimination
Following oral administration of trace amounts of oleic acid, less than 10% of total oleic acid was found to be eliminated via fecal excretion 2.
