The intake of the mainly plant-derived n-3 PUFA α-linolenic acid (ALA) has been reported to
be associated with a lower risk of CHD. However, the results have been inconsistent …

Previous studies show inconsistent associations between α-linolenic acid (ALA) and risk of
CHD. We aimed to examine an aggregate association between ALA intake and risk of CHD …

Background Whether intake of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), the plant-derived n-3
polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA), could prevent cardiovascular diseases is not yet clear …

Background: n− 3 (omega-3) PUFA has been proposed as having health-promoting effects,
primarily in relation to ischemic heart disease (IHD). Whether these benefits can be …

The UK Food Standards Agency convened a group of expert scientists to review current
research investigating whether n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) from plant oils (α …

The role of the major plant-derived n-3 PUFA, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), on the risk of
atherosclerotic cardiovascular (ASCVD) remains unclear, but most studies have reported no …

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 …

Intake of the plant-derived n-3 fatty acid α-linolenic acid (ALA) has been associated with anti-
atherosclerotic properties. However, information on the association between ALA intake and …

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 …

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) …
