Principal food sources of the n-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid are salad and cooking oil, salad
dressing, shortening, margarine, and food-service fat and oil products made from canola oil …

ABSTRACT α-Linolenic acid (ALA) is an n–3 (ω-3) fatty acid found mostly in plant foods such
as flaxseed, walnuts, and vegetable oils, including canola and soybean oils. Most of the …

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) …

Background—Intake of long-chain n-3 fatty acids found in fish is low in many countries
worldwide. α-Linolenic acid could be a viable cardioprotective alternative to these fatty acids …

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 …

Although the fish-derived, long-chain omega-3 fatty acids (n-3 FA) may be considered “gifts
from the sea” for cardiovascular health, the role of the land (or plant)-based n-3 FA-linolenic …

We compared the cardiovascular risk-reduction potential of three major polyunsaturated fatty
acids in a double-blind study. Thirty-three normotensive and mildly hypercholesterolemic …

The effects of n-3 fatty acids from fish oils (eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic
acid) and plant oils (alpha-linolenic acid) on human serum lipids and lipoproteins are …

We examined the effect of dietary α-linolenic acid (ALA) on the indices of lipid and
coagulation status and on the fatty acid composition of serum and peripheral blood …
