About Gamma linolenic acidAn essential Fatty acid(omega-6 family), A dietary supplement with antiinflammatory.Mechanism of Action of Gamma linolenic acidGLA is metabolized to the 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid DGLA, which is cyclooxygenated to prostaglandin E1 (PGE1). PGE1 elicits biologic activities by binding to surface receptors on smooth muscle cells, increasing intracellular cAMP.
GLA, via conversion to PGE1, exhibits anti-inflammatory, antithrombotic, antiproliferative, and lipid-lowering potential. It also enhances smooth muscle relaxation and vasodilation. In addition, EFAs including GLA are important constituents of membrane phospholipids, including the mitochondrial membrane, where they enhance the integrity and the fluidity of the membrane. Studies have shown that GLA has a role in management of Dry eye, Atopic eczema and cyclical mastalgia (pre-menstrual breast pain).
