Notes: Dihomo-γ-Linolenic Acid-d6 (DGLA-d6) is intended for use as an internal standard for the quantification of DGLA (Item No. 90230) by GC- or LC-MS. DGLA (20:3), an elongation product of γ-linolenic acid (18:3), is rapidly metabolized by fatty acid desaturases to produce arachidonic acid (20:4). DGLA is metabolized through the cyclooxygenase pathway to produce 1-series prostaglandins, (PGs), including PGE1.{2244,10906} In mice, DGLA supplementation in the diet can reduce atopic dermatitis and atherosclerosis.{19739,19738}
