What are you trying to find a treatment for? In most humans, what seems to happen is that with AA in one's cells, a "chronic inflammatory" condition develops, usually when the "youth-associated hormones" (as Ray Peat calls them) diminish (mid 30s - 40s), and then the "chronic diseases" that are said to be "epidemics" or soon to be epidemics (like Alzheimer's) become much more common than they would be if Mead acid were in place of the AA. This probably happens in mice, but it would not appear the same clinically, due to the short life spans of this kind of animal. What you might find is a higher incidence of cancer in mice fed a safflower oil diet as opposed to a diet rich in coconut oil instead of safflower oil. |
