octadecatetraenoic acid/ribes nigrum

In this report, we show that the non-conjugated octadecatetraenoic acid found in the oil of the seeds from Ribes nigrum is identical to the C18-polyunsaturated fatty acid previously isolated in a number of fish oils and seed oils. Evidence obtained from mass spectral data of its triazolopyridine

Gamma-linolenic acid (gamma-linolenic acid, GLA; C18:3 Delta(6, 9, 12)) belongs to the omega-6 family and exists primarily in several plant oils, such as evening primrose oil, blackcurrant oil, and borage oil. Delta(6)-desaturase is a key enzyme involved in the synthesis of GLA. There have been no

The triacylglycerol stereospecific structure was determined for the major plant oils containing ψ-linolenic acid (GLA): evening primrose oil (EPO), black currant oil (BCO), borage oil (BO), andMucor javanicus fungal oil (MJO). It was found that GLA, although not α-linolenic acid, resisted pancreatic
