Biochem/physiol Actions
Ethyl linolenate may be used as a reference molecule in systems developed to measure fatty acid esters derived from tissues, membranes and lipids, especially associated with alcohol abuse. Ethyl linolenate is being studied as a possible skin whitening agent with anti-melanogenesis activity.

The effects of water activity (A(w)) and lipid addition on the secondary structure of powdery zein were investigated using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Two fatty acid esters, i.e., the linolenic and eicosapentaenoic acid ethyl esters (LAE and EPE), were mixed

Treatment of human alpha-linolenic acid deficiency (ALAD) with ethyl linolenate is reported. The patient's scaly dermatitis nearly disappeared after 5-d supplementation with 0.1 mL ethyl linolenate. Pretreatment content of various n-3 fatty acids in RBC was 0-15% of healthy controls.
