Background and Purpose To examine the relationship between serum fatty acids, which
reflect dietary intake, and stroke, we conducted a nested case-control study of 96 men with …

During the 1980's, opposing time trends were observed in coronary heart disease (CHD)
rates between Eastern and Western European countries. In all former socialistic economic …

AIM:: To summarize our present knowledge about vegetable omega-3 fatty acids. DATA
SYNTHESIS:: Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is one of the two essential fatty acids in humans …

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 …

In evaluating the cardiovascular merits of n–3 fatty acids, Wang et al (1) appropriately sought
the best available evidence and used randomized controlled human trials (RCTs) as their …

Our understanding of the cardiovascular disease (CVD) benefits of α-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:
3n–3) has advanced markedly during the past decade. It is now evident that ALA benefits …

α-Linolenic acid (18: 3n-3) intake and linoleic acid (18: 2n-6) intake have been associated
with lower rates of CHD, though results have not been consistent. The relationship of these …

Aims Epidemiological studies report an inverse association between plant-derived dietary α-
linolenic acid (ALA) and cardiovascular events. However, little is known about the …

Overweight and obesity are highly prevalent worldwide, and are associated with
cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors including systematic inflammation, dyslipidemia …

Background—Previous studies on intake of linoleic acid (LA), the predominant n-6 fatty acid,
and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk have generated inconsistent results. We performed a …
