It has been claimed that the inhibiting effect of linoleic acid on the macrophage electrophoretic mobility test provides a specific laboratory method for the diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (M.S.) and may also enable susceptible relatives of M.S. patients to be identified. Three trials of the method under double-blind conditions have failed to confirm that the test is diagnostically useful.
有人声称,亚油酸对巨噬细胞电泳迁移率试验的抑制作用为多发性硬化症(MS)的诊断提供了一种特定的实验室方法,并且还可能使MS患者的易感亲属得以识别。在双盲条件下对该方法进行的三项试验未能证实该试验具有诊断价值。
