Evening Primrose Oil (EPO) Cont.
Mechanism of action:
• LA GLA PGE1
• GLA is not obtained in the diet
• Individuals with deficiency in the enzymatic conversion of LA to GLA
• Importance of PGE1 – As an anti-inflammatory– Immuno-regulatory– Vasodilator– Platelet aggregation inhibition– Cholesterol synthesis inhibition
