But studies have shown an increase in membrane DGLA and series 1 eicosanoids, with beneficial anti-inflammatory consequences [*92]. GLA can also lower blood pressure [*93]. To minimize lipid peroxidation, essential fatty acid supplements should be taken with no less than 500 mg of Vitamin E per day. Both gamma and alpha forms of tocopherol should be included [*94] for effectiveness. Vitamin E is an antioxidant which strongly prevents membrane peroxidation. The combination of Vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acid can reduce cancer risk while protecting heart cell membranes, brain cell membranes, immune-cell membranes and the receptor membranes that allow hormones to act. Vitamin E can protect essential fatty acids from lipid peroxidation in capsules and in the bloodstream, as well as in cell membranes. But for smokers, vitamin E may not be adequate to reduce oxidation of fish oil in LDL-cholesterol, and some medical authorities have cautioned against too much fish oil consumption by smokers [*95].
