Quantitation of alpha-linolenic acid elongation to eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid as affected by the ratio of n6/n3 fatty acids

BACKGROUND: Conversion of linoleic acid (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) to their higher chain homologues in humans depends on the ratio of ingested n6 and n3 fatty acids. DESIGN AND METHODS: In order to determine the most effective ratio with regard to the conversion of ALA to eicosapentaenoic a...
