| Abstract: | In the last decades, many unconventional oils have attracted great attention due to higher biological compounds. Evening primrose oil (Oenothera biennis) is commonly utilized as herbal medicine rich in omega-6 essential fatty acids (i.e., linoleic acid and γ-linoleic acid). The positive effect of EPO has been demonstrated in the case of many diseases such as cyclic breast pain, gestational diabetes, inflammations, cancer, dermatitis, kidney problem, rheumatoid arthritis, oxidative stress, and diabetes mellitus. The present chapter aimed to provide currently available literature related to the biological activities of EPO. |
