Possible Interaction: Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Eicosatrienoic Acid

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

The desaturation products AA, EPA , and DHA inhibit delta 6 desaturation of LA and delta 5 desaturation of DGLA (dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid).

High doses of EPA given to Westerners also lower levels of dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA), a substance with a wide range of desirable cardiovascular and antiinflammatory actions.

We suggest that eicosapentaenoic acid might be a better antithrombotic agent than dihomogammalinolenic acid.

This result suggested that EPA but not DHA in fish oil exerts an inhibitory effect on the conversion of DGLA to AA.

Only small effects on the uptake of 10 microM eicosapentaenoic acid occurred when palmitic, stearic or oleic acids were added to the medium in concentrations up to 75 microM. In contrast, eicosapentaenoic acid uptake was reduced considerably by the presence of linoleic, n-6 eicosatrienoic , arachidonic or docosahexaenoic acids.

Baseline eicosapentaenoic acid levels were modestly correlated with suicidal ideation at follow-up and dihomo-γ-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid were modestly correlated with motor impulsivity at follow-up in cases.
