Borago officinalis var. turcica
Borage cultivé largement en Turquie pour son huile de graines et son usage traditionnel dans le soutien adrenalien et hormonal.
Anatolian Borage (Borago officinalis var. turcica) is a Turkish cultivar valued for its seed oil, which is rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) and linoleic acid. It is traditionally used as an adrenal tonic and for inflammatory conditions, while modern research suggests potential for hormonal support and anti-inflammatory effects, though evidence remains limited (Grade C). The presence of hepatotoxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) restricts its use, particularly in pregnancy and liver disease.
The seed oil provides GLA, which is metabolized to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) and subsequently to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE1) and leukotrienes, modulating the arachidonic acid cascade. GLA also influences cytokine production and may support adrenal function by providing precursor for hormone synthesis. However, pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the plant can cause veno-occlusive disease via metabolic activation by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, leading to hepatotoxicity.
