To investigate the effect of ALA intake on blood lipid profiles, including triglycerides (TG),
total cholesterol (TC), high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), low-density lipoprotein …

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid found mainly in plant sources,
including flaxseed oil, canola oil, and walnuts. Although substantial evidence indicates that …

Background: Prior studies of α-linolenic acid (ALA), a plant-derived omega-3 (n-3) fatty acid,
and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk have generated inconsistent results. Objective: We …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Our aim was to study the effects of increased dietary intake of α-linolenic acid (ALA),
eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on serum lipids and LDL fatty …

Several studies have shown the effect of alpha-lipoic acid (ALA) on lipid profile. However,
findings remain controversial. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to …

Objective: To determine whether dietary supplementation with α linolenic acid (ALA) can
modify established and emerging cardiovascular risk markers. Design: Systematic review …

Background: The effect of long-term increased intakes of α-linolenic acid (ALA; 18: 3n− 3) on
cardiovascular risk factors is unknown. Objectives: Our objectives were to assess the effect …
