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 …

Abstract α-Linolenic acid (ALA), a carboxylic acid with 18 carbons and three cis double

There is a large body of scientific evidence that has been confirmed in randomized
controlled trials indicating a cardioprotective effect for omega-3 fatty acids from fish. For …

Background Although studies suggest that omega-3 fatty acids intake may reduce
