Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis in Lewis rats was suppressed by treatment with essential fatty acids (EFA) given perorally. This treatment effect could be abolished by administration of a drug (Indomethacin) known to inhibit biosynthesis of certain prostaglandins from EFA. This observation suggests that the suppressive effect of EFA on cell-mediated immune reactions is brought about by EFA-derived prostaglandins.
