This is supported by the effects of a diester of γ-linolenic acid and α-lipoic acid , which completely prevented the effects on the pro-oxidant interventions on conduction velocity, nerve growth factor and neuropeptide contents, but was only partially preventative in diabetes. [

In summary, these results indicate that the conjugate of the antioxidant LPA and the n-6 essential fatty acid GLA elicits significant dose-dependent improvements in whole body and skeletal muscle insulin action on glucose disposal in insulin-resistant obese Zucker rats.
These LPA-GLA-induced improvements in whole body insulin action were accompanied by 28-63 and 38-57% increases in insulin-mediated glucose transport in epitrochlearis and soleus muscles and resulted from the additive effects of LPA and GLA.
