In comparison with linoleic acid (LA; 18: 2n-6), γ-linolenic acid (GLA; 18: 3n-6) has superior biopotency because it bypasses [Delta]6 desaturation, which is regarded as a key regulatory rate-limiting enzymic step controlling the formation of long-chain PUFA and is beneficial in some inflammatory d...
