“Results: Cord plasma phospholipid γ-linolenic acid and dihomo-γ-linolenic acid concentrations were negatively related to insulin concentrations and calculated insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment) at seven years of age.”
“Stimulation by insulin was blocked by dibutyryl-cAMP and by polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as alpha-linolenic acid, gamma-linolenic acid , or eicosapentaenoic acid; palmitic or oleic acids, however, had no inhibitory effect.”
