Fatty acids in the fat-soluble fraction of pollen extract (Cernitin™ GBX™) were analyzed. Fatty acids were determined on a Dani 3860 PTV GC. Identification was based on the retention times of known mixtures of free fatty acids and their methyl esters in GC/MS. The major part of the fatty acid fraction was in free form. Bound fatty acids were characterized by a high content of a-linolenic acid (70%). The mechanism of antiatherosclerotic action of this pollen extract may be, at least in part, due to polyunsaturated fatty acids. Read the Full Study
