About alpha-linolenic acid

ABOUT c- LINOLENIC

As an important source of w3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, flaxseed oil contains up to 45% to 52% alpha-linolenic acid. Alpha-linolenic acid is an essential fatty acid (EFA), and flaxseed oil has health care functions (such as preventing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, lowering blood lipids, anti-tumor, etc.). Alpha-linolenic acid is mainly absorbed directly through the intestinal tract, stored in the liver, transported to various parts of the body through the blood, and directly becomes the constituent material of the cell membrane. Secondly, α-linolenic acid, as a w3 polyunsaturated fatty acid, can be metabolized by carbon chain elongation and desaturation under the action of carbon chain elongase and dehydrogenase to generate a variety of highly active substances, the most important of which are EPA and DHA. EPA is a prostaglandin precursor substance, which generates PGE5, PGI3, LTB5, TXA3 and other active substances under the action of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, and regulates many biochemical reactions in the human body; while DHA is the main component of brain, nerve, retina and other tissues. substance. EPA and DHA are also effective active ingredients of deep-sea fish oil, so αx-linolenic acid is also known as "deep-sea fish oil on the mountain". Flaxseed oil is the best choice for supplementing w3-type fatty acids. Since the α-linolenic acid molecule contains three double bonds, it is easily oxidized by oxygen, light, ultraviolet rays, etc., and the oleic acid deteriorates in severe cases; therefore, vegetable oil rich in α-linolenic acid should be protected from light, sealed and stored, and high temperature should be avoided when using it. fried.
