Linoleic Acid (peroxide free)

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. Linoleic acid (peroxide free) contains the antioxidant BHT (Cay-89910). BHT-free linoleic acid (Cay-90150, Cay-21909) is also available.Formal Name: 9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid. CAS Number: 60-33-3.
