Application

Linoleic acid-water soluble has been used as a component of fatting media for the in vitro steatosis induction of primary human hepatocytes (PHH).

Biochem/physiol Actions

Linoleic acid (LA) is an arachidonic acid precursor, which is present in vegetable oils. It enhances wound healing in diabetic rats. LA triggers tumor and apoptosis in colorectal cancer cells. The levels of LA in adipose tissue and platelets are associated with coronary artery disease. Linoleic acid binds to molecules, such as bovine serum albumin (BSA) or cyclodextrin for use in cell culture.

Other Notes

Contains approx. 30 mg of linoleic acid per gram; balance methyl-β-cyclodextrin.
