A variety of fatty acids exists in the diet of humans, in the bloodstream of humans, and in
cells and tissues of humans. Fatty acids are energy sources and membrane constituents …

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential fatty acid and the substrate for the synthesis of
longer-chain, more unsaturated ω-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) …

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is the predominant omega‐3 long‐chain polyunsaturated fatty
acid found in human brain and eyes. There are a number of studies in the literature showing …

The effects of both the amount and quality of dietary fat have been studied intensively during
the past decades. Previously, low-fat diets were recommended without much attention to the …

For maintaining human health and preventing diseases, interest has been started to develop
towards consumption of essential fatty acids. It is positively correlated that consumption of …

A large body of evidence supports the cardioprotective effects of the long-chain omega-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic …

There is little doubt regarding the essential nature of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), yet the
capacity of dietary ALA to maintain adequate tissue levels of long chain n− 3 fatty acids …

Abstract α-Linolenic acid (ALA), a carboxylic acid with 18 carbons and three cis double
bonds, is an essential fatty acid needed for human health and can be acquired via regular …

Considerable research supports cardiovascular benefits of consuming omega-3 PUFA, also
known as (n-3) PUFA, from fish or fish oil. Whether individual long-chain (n-3) PUFA have …

In this exploratory, hypothesis-generating literature review, we evaluated potentially
differential effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) on low …
