Borago officinalis
Plante méditerranéenne utilisée en médecine populaire pour l'épuisement surrénalien, l'inflammation et comme galactagogue. L'huile de ses graines contient la plus haute teneur connue en GLA (acide gamma-linolénique).
Borage (Borago officinalis) is a Mediterranean herb traditionally used for adrenal support, inflammation, and lactation. Its seed oil is exceptionally rich in gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), an omega-6 fatty acid with anti-inflammatory properties. However, the herb also contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs), which can be hepatotoxic, limiting its internal use.
Borage seed oil provides GLA, which is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) and subsequently to anti-inflammatory prostaglandins (PGE1) and leukotrienes, modulating COX and LOX pathways. GLA also inhibits NF-κB activation, reducing pro-inflammatory cytokine production. The herb's rosmarinic acid contributes antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects via inhibition of lipoxygenase and complement activation. Pyrrolizidine alkaloids in the leaf are metabolized by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes to toxic pyrroles, causing veno-occlusive disease.
