Fine Art Print : Gamma-linolenic acid, computer model
Fine Art Prints from Science Photo Library
Gamma-linolenic acid, computer model
Gamma-linolenic acid. Computer model of a molecule of gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 essential fatty acid. Atoms are represented as spheres and are colour-coded; carbon (blue), hydrogen (gold) and oxygen (red). This is a polyunsaturated fat. It is found in plant oils, especially borage oil and evening primrose oil. In the body it can be produced from linoleic acid. GLA has many uses in herbal medicine, including relieving premenstrual tension, breast tenderness, eczema and controlling alcoholism

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a computer-generated model of Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 essential fatty acid. The intricate structure of GLA is represented by colorful spheres, with carbon atoms depicted in blue, hydrogen atoms in gold, and oxygen atoms in red. As a polyunsaturated fat, GLA can be found abundantly in various plant oils such as borage oil and evening primrose oil. The significance of GLA extends beyond its chemical composition. In herbal medicine, this remarkable compound has been utilized for numerous purposes. It is known to alleviate premenstrual tension and breast tenderness while also offering relief from eczema symptoms. Additionally, it plays a role in controlling alcoholism. Interestingly, the human body has the ability to produce GLA from another fatty acid called linoleic acid. This molecular transformation highlights the complexity and versatility of biochemical processes within our bodies. Through this visually stunning artwork created using computer modeling techniques, Science Photo Library provides us with a glimpse into the microscopic world of enzymes and molecules that shape our biochemistry. While appreciating the beauty inherent in scientific exploration, we gain insight into how compounds like GLA contribute to our overall well-being.
