Linoleic Acid (sodium salt)

Linoleic acid is an essential omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). It is the most abundant PUFA in a variety of foods, and dietary sources of linoleic acid include vegetable oils, meats, nuts, seeds, and eggs. Linoleic acid (30 µM) increases migration of IEC-6 rat intestinal epithelial cells in a wound healing assay. Rats fed a linoleate-deficient diet exhibit decreased body weight and an increased ratio of eicosatrienoate to arachidonate in liver and serum phospholipids compared with rats fed a control diet, as well as mild scaling of forepaw skin.Formal Name: 9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid, monosodium salt.
