alpha-linolenic acid

Alpha-linolenic acid is a lipid of Fatty Acyls (FA) class. Alpha-linolenic acid is associated with abnormalities such as Coronary heart disease, abnormal fragmented structure, Arterial thrombosis and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage. The involved functions are known as Anabolism, Signal, Transcription, Genetic, Saturated and Regulation. Alpha-linolenic acid often locates in Blood, Body tissue, Plasma membrane, Hepatic and peroxisome. The associated genes with alpha-linolenic acid are FATE1 gene, volicitin, CYP2U1 gene, CYP1A2 gene and CYP2J2 gene. The related lipids are Fatty Acids, Dietary Fatty Acid, stearidonic acid and Fatty Acids, Nonesterified.

Hosmer C Ask the doctor. Are the omega-3 fats in flaxseed oil as good for the heart as those in fish or fish oil? Do they have the same side effects? The American Heart Association warns about getting more than 3 grams of omega-3 fats a day without a doctor's supervision, but one teaspoon of my concentrated flaxseed oil--the recommended dose--contains 6.2 grams. Should I be worried? 2005 Harv Heart Lett pmid:16363041
