Table 4 Candidate strategies to mitigate linoleic acid-driven metabolic stress: Doses, biomarkers, and evidence landscape
| Intervention | Proposed human dose | Primary target | Expected biomarker change | Evidence level | Ref. |
| Dietary LA reduction | ≤ 3% total kcal | Lipid peroxidation | F2-isoprostanes decreased 20% in 12 weeks | RCT-pilot | [42,228,274] |
| Pentadecanoic acid (C15:0) | 100-200 mg/day | AMPK/SDH restoration | Succinate decreased 30% (rodent) | Preclinical | [150,229,230] |
| Low-dose aspirin | 75-100 mg/day | COX-2/PGE2 axis | Serum PGE2 decreased 50% in 24 hours | Observational + RCT-CV | [231-234] |
| Intermittent fasting | 16:8 daily | Autophagy induction | LC3-II flux rose 2 × (mouse) | Early human | [235-238] |
