Disease relevance of gamma-Linolenic acid

 

Psychiatry related information on gamma-Linolenic acid

  • During the critical period of postnatal development in mammals, AA is supplied preformed, directly from the milk or derived from precursor fatty acids such as gamma-linolenic acid (GLA; 18:3n-6) [6].
  • The objective of this study was to test the effect of a supplement of blackcurrant seed oil (BSO), a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid (C18:3n-6) on the resting blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular reactivity to a psychological stress in borderline hypertensive individuals [7].
