Possible Interaction: Dimethyl Sulfoxide and Linolenic Acid

“A decrease in oxylipin diols from linoleic acid (LA, C18:2n6), alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, C18:3n3) and docosahexeanoic acid (DHA, C22:6n3) was observed 2 h after injection with DMSO.”

“While sodium formate, dimethyl sulfoxide , superoxide dismutase, and ethylenediamine-tetraacetic acid produced no significant inhibition, some generally used singlet oxygen quenchers, beta-carotene, dimethylfuran, L-histidine, and sodium azide, caused significant inhibition of the UV-A-induced peroxidation of the linolenic acid micelles.”
