Abstract

Six female patients kindly submitted to alternating eight to ten weeks periods of control (15) and oral treatment (9) with linolenic acid 7.5 g daily corresponding to 27 mmol daily. A series of parameters were measured each week to examine lipods, liver function, and coagulation. The plasma fibrinogen concentration decreased during therapy, but none of the other parameters were significantly influenced; the platelet adhesiveness, however, tended to increase.
