2. Omega-6 fatty acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-6_fatty_acid

   The evening primrose flower (O. biennis) produces an oil containing a high content of γ-linolenic acid, a type of omega-6 fatty acid.Omega-6 fatty acids (also referred to as ω-6 fatty acids or n-6 fatty acids) are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids that have in common a final carbon-carbon double bond in the n-6 position, that is, the sixth bond, counting from the methyl end.

3. γ-Linolenic acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gamma-Linolenic_acid

   Infobox references. gamma-Linolenic acid or GLA (γ-linolenic acid) (INN: gamolenic acid) is an n −6, or omega-6, fatty acid found primarily in seed oils. When acting on GLA, arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase produces no leukotrienes and the conversion by the enzyme of arachidonic acid to leukotrienes is inhibited.

4. Linoleic acid - Wikipedia

   Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated, omega-6 fatty acid. It is a colorless liquid that is virtually insoluble in water but soluble in many organic solvents. [2] It typically occurs in nature as a triglyceride (ester of glycerin) rather than as a free fatty acid. [6]

5. Essential fatty acid - Wikipedia

   Deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids are very common. The average American has a ratio between omega-6 fatty acids and omega-3 fatty acids of 20:1. When the two EFAs were discovered in 1923, they were designated "vitamin F", but in 1929, research on rats showed that the two EFAs are better classified as fats rather than vitamins. [8]

7. Fatty acid ratio in food - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ratio_in_food

   Only two essential fatty acids are known to be essential for humans: alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). [1] The biological effects of the ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids are mediated by their mutual interactions. Closely related, these fatty acids act as competing substrates for the same enzymes.
