Given the evidence of the health benefits of plant-based diets and long-chain n–3 (ω-3) fatty
acids, there is keen interest in better understanding the role of α-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant …

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) …

Trans isomers of α-linolenic acid, which are formed by deodorization of refined vegetable
oils, can be found in significant amounts in edible oils. Effects of trans α-linolenic acid on …
