gamma-Linolenic acid

SKU: orb1302497

Description

Gamma-Linolenic acid (GLA) is an omega-6 fatty acid that modulates oxidative stress and inflammation. In vitro studies on hepatocyte models demonstrate it can induce ROS and heme oxygenase-1 while inhibiting NF-κB, supporting research into liver disease, inflammation, and cancer pathways.
