gamma-Linolenic acid (Standard)

SKU: orb3025509

Description

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. 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.
