Objective: To collect (i) baseline data and (ii) execute a large multicentre study examining
the effect of trans α-linolenic acid on its incorporation into plasma lipids and on risk factors …

Background Experimental studies in laboratory animals and humans suggest that α-linolenic
acid (18: 3n− 3) may reduce the risk of arrhythmia. Objective The objective was to examine …

Over the last decades, an increasing body of evidence has been accumulated on the
beneficial effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids both in primary and secondary prevention of …

Purpose The aim of the current meta-analysis was to investigate the effect of increasing
dietary ALA intake on the blood concentration of inflammatory markers including tumor …

Objective: To investigate the effects of increased alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)-intake on intima–
media thickness (IMT), oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL) antibodies, soluble …

The role of the major plant-derived n-3 PUFA, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), on the risk of
atherosclerotic cardiovascular (ASCVD) remains unclear, but most studies have reported no …

Background There is a metabolic pathway by which mammals can convert the omega-3 (n-
3) essential fatty acid α-linolenic acid (ALA) into longer-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids …

α-Linolenic acid (αLNA; 18: 3n-3) is essential in the human diet, probably because it is the
substrate for the synthesis of longer-chain, more unsaturated n-3 fatty acids, principally EPA …

Background: The relation between α-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-derived omega-3 (n–3)
fatty acid, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is unclear. European researchers …

The study by Djoussé et al (1) concludes that a higher intake of both α-linolenic (18: 3nJ3)
and linoleic acid (18: 2nJ6) is inversely related to the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) …
