Possible Interaction: Ethanol and Gamma-Linolenic Acid

supplement:

Ethanol

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

Ethanol reduced the action of both GLA and DGLA possibly due to some physicochemical reaction between the alcohol and the fatty acids.
Prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and medicine  •  1985  |  View Paper
These effects were partially attenuated by administration of GLA during the period of ethanol administration.

These results do not support a beneficial effect of GLA in preventing the developmental effects of ethanol; we suggest caution in the administration of high doses of GLA with ethanol during pregnancy.
Pharmacology, biochemistry, and behavior  •  1996  |  View Paper
The results suggest that gamma-linolenic acid or its metabolites may have an important role to play in the development of tolerance to chronic ethanol.
Alcoholism, clinical and experimental research  •  1995  |  View Paper
Chronic consumption of ethanol causes a depletion of essential fatty acids, partly by blocking gamma-linolenic acid formation and partly by depleting dihomogammalinolenic acid.
