Transgenic mice convert carbohydrates to essential fatty acids. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Transgenic mice (named "Omega mice") were engineered to carry both optimized fat-1 and fat-2 genes from the roundworm Caenorhabditis elegans and are capable of producing essential omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids from saturated fats or carbohydrates. When

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) as a Source of Essential Fatty Acids – A Biofortification Approach
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Chickpea is a highly nutritious pulse crop with low digestible carbohydrates (40–60%), protein (15–22%), essential fats (4–8%), and a range of minerals and vitamins. The fatty acid composition of the seed adds value because fats govern the texture, shelf-

Discovery of essential fatty acids
Journal of Lipid Research, 2015 Dietary fat was recognized as a good source of energy and fat-soluble vitamins by the first part of the 20th century, but fatty acids were not considered to be essential nutrients because they could be synthesized from dietary carbohydrate.
