GLA , EPA, and DHA-induced free radical generation and lipid peroxidation were also inhibited by vitamin E and SOD.
On the other hand, the anti-oxidant, vitamin E , and the superoxide anion quencher, superoxide dismutase (SOD), could completely inhibit the cytotoxic action of GLA , EPA and DHA indicating a role for free radicals and, in particular, the superoxide anion in this process.

On the other hand, 4 antioxidants (Coenzyme Q, (D) alpha-tocopherol , (DL) alpha-tocopherol, butylated hydroxytoluene) reduced the growth inhibitory effect of GLA , but not in proportion to the decrease of GLA-stimulated lipid peroxidation.
