1. omega-6 fatty acid

   Omega-6 fatty acids are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids that have in common a final carbon–carbon double bond in the n-6 position, that is, the sixth bond, counting from the methyl end. These essential nutrients are required for a number of body functions including stimulating skin and hair growth, maintaining bone health, regulating metabolism, and maintaining the reproductive system. They're considered essential fatty acids, which means that they're necessary for human health, but the body can't produce them, hence they must be consumed through food or supplements. Examples include linoleic acid and arachidonic acid.

1. Omega-6 fatty acid

   Omega-6 fatty acids are a family of unsaturated fatty acids that have in common a final carbon–carbon double bond in the n−6 position, that is, the sixth bond, counting from the methyl end. The biological effects of the omega−6 fatty acids are largely mediated by their conversion to omega-6 eicosanoids that bind to diverse receptors found in every tissue of the body. The conversion of tissue arachidonic acid to omega-6 prostaglandin and omega-6 leukotriene hormones provides many targets for pharmaceutical drug development and treatment to diminish excessive omega-6 actions in atherosclerosis, asthma, arthritis, vascular disease, thrombosis, immune-inflammatory processes, and tumor proliferation. Competitive interactions with the omega-3 fatty acids affect the relative storage, mobilization, conversion and action of the omega-3 and omega-6 eicosanoid precursors.
