gammalinolenic acid

gamma-Linolenic acid (gamolenic acid), is an unsaturated fatty acid synthesized from linoleic acid (LA) by the enzyme delta-6-desaturase. Research on hepatocellular cell lines has shown γ-Linolenic Acid to have induced reactive oxygen species generation including lipid peroxidation, cell growth inhibition, and heme oxygenase-1 production for antioxidant protection against oxidative stress. Further experiments have noted that γ-Linolenic acid inhibits inflammatory responses through inactivation of NFκB and activator protein-1 by suppressed oxidative stress.

γ-Linolenic Acid methyl ester (Methyl gamma-linolenate) is a weak leukotriene B4 (LTB4) receptor antagonist.

γ-Linolenic acid ethyl ester (Ethyl γ-linolenate) is a leukotriene B4 receptor 4 (LTB4) antagonist with potential anti-inflammatory effects[1].

Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid methyl ester is the methyl ester form of Dihomo-γ-Linolenic acid which has anti-inflammatory and anti-proliferative effects.

gamma-Linolenic acid (Standard) is the standard substance of gamma-Linolenic acid, and it is applicable for quantitative analysis, quality control, and related research in biochemical experiments. gamma-Linolenic acid (gamolenic acid), is an unsaturated fatty acid synthesized from linoleic acid (LA) by the enzyme delta-6-desaturase.

Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) is a fatty acid widely found in plants with antitumor and antiproliferative effects, inhibits the growth of xenograft tumor cells, and can be used in the study of inflammation-related diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, atherosclerosis, and atopic dermatitis.
