Serum Levels of Dihomo-Gamma (γ)-Linolenic Acid (DGLA) Are Inversely Associated with Linoleic Acid and Total Death in Elderly Patients with a Recent Myocardial Infarction
Nilsen, Dennis W.T.; Myhre, Peder Langeland; Kalstad, Are; Schmidt, Erik B.; Arnesen, Harald; Seljeflot, Ingebjørg (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) is an n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) derived from linoleic acid (LA). The LA:DGLA ratio reflects conversion from LA to DGLA. Low levels of DGLA in serum have been related to poor ... -
