Alpha-linolenic acid and heart rate variability.

Nutrition, metabolism, and cardiovascular diseases : NMCD, 2000
BACKGROUND AND AIM: The marine long-chained n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids seem to have antiarrhythmic effects in humans. Similar effect has also been postulated for alpha-linolenic acid, a plant-derived polyunsaturated fatty acid--from the n-3 family.

Alpha-Linolenic Acid and the Metabolism of Arachidonic Acid

1989
Recognition of α-linolenic acid (LnA)* as an EFA in higher animals has been late in forthcoming, in sharp contrast to the abundance of reports demonstrating the essentiality of LA in many animal species, including humans.1 Evidence for an essential role in LnA in vision of Rhesus monkeys has been described,2 and cases of human LnA deficiency have been ...

Antithromboxane activity of dietary alpha-linolenic acid: a pilot study

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 1996
Two decades of research conclusively demonstrated the antithrombotic properties of the long-chain n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) present in lipids from marine fishes. Most American consumers, however, given their preference for meat, will not realize the benefits of a fish-rich diet. Could alpha-linolenic acid (18:3, n-3) be similarly effective

Alpha-Linolenic Acid: A Preventive in Secondary Coronary Events?

Nutrition Reviews, 2009
In a 5-year study of survivors of a first myocardial infarction, the effect of an alpha-linolenic acid-enriched diet (experimental) was compared with the prudent diet of the American Heart Association (control) in prevention of secondary coronary events.

Alpha-linolenic acid supplementation and resistance training in older adults

Applied Physiology, Nutrition, and Metabolism, 2009
Increased inflammation with aging has been linked to sarcopenia. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementing older adults with alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) during a resistance training program, based on the hypothesis that ALA decreases the plasma concentration of the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α and ...

Apoptotic Effects of Alpha-Linolenic Acid

2023
In recent years, alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an important omega-3 fatty acid, has become the focus of research due to its potential effects on apoptosis. This review aims to provide an in-depth look at the relationship between ALA and apoptotic pathways and to shed light on the molecular mechanisms that support this interaction.

Flax as a Source of Alpha-Linolenic Acid

1989
Flax is a very rich source of alpha-linolenic acid. The exact alpha-linolenic acid and other fatty acid content depends on species and growing conditions. The fatty acids contained are shown in Table 1.
