“Alcohol, vitamin C and chloroquine selectively enhance DGLA conversion to PGE1: opiates may either enhance of inhibit PGE1 formation selectively depending on receptor type.”
“ Vitamin C can therefore selectively enhance the formation of cyclo-oxygenase generated products from DGLA without changing formation of those from AA.”
“ Vitamin C over the concentration range 10 to 100 microgram/ml (5.7-57 x 10-5 M) caused a dose dependent and highly significant enhancement of conversion of 14C-dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA) to prostaglandin (PG) E1 and to thromboxane (Tx) B1 by human platelets.”
