“Most of the agents used (aspirin, imidazole, lithium carbonate and ascorbic acid) produced results consistent with the idea that elevation of levels of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) and/or PGE1 may be important as regards the actions of GLA.”
“The dietary administration of GLA increased the in vitro production by the aorta of prostaglandin E1 derived from dihomo-GLA, but did not significantly influence the production of prostaglandin E2 derived from AA by the aorta and the thromboxane B2 level in serum.”

“However, prostaglandin E1 , which is formed from GLA in vivo, showed partial reversal of tumor-induced lipolysis and probably accounted for the anticachectic effect of GLA.”
“The challenge with 10(-7) M GLA (delivered immediately after isolation) enhanced significantly the output of PGE1 but did not influence the generation and release of PGE2 or PGF2 alpha.”
