Mechanisms of [gamma]-linolenic acid induction of apoptosis in T cells chronically infected with HIV-1
BACKGROUND: The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) kills HIV-1- infected cells at concentrations that are relatively harmless to uninfected cells. The mechanism of this effect is unclear but evidence implicates oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to define mechanism...
