Effects of a prostaglandin precursor, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), on malignant cells in vitro and in vivo.
Recent studies have shown that the proliferation of various human and murine tumour lines can be inhibited by the addition of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) to the culture medium. These findings are consistent with the proposal put forward by Horrobin (1980) that malignant cells lack the enzyme/ A 6 des...
