Dietary Salba (Salvia hispanica L) seed rich in α-linolenic acid improves adipose tissue dysfunction and the altered skeletal muscle glucose and lipid metabolism in dyslipidemic insulin-resistant rats
(Elsevier, 2013-09)
This work reports the effect of dietary Salba (chia) seed rich in n-3 -linolenic acid on the morphological and metabolic aspects involved in adipose tissue dysfunction and the mechanism/s underlying the impaired glucose ...
Adipose tissue α-Linolenic acid and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction in Costa Rica
(2003-04-01)
Background: α-Linolenic acid may protect against cardiovascular disease. We examined the association between adipose tissue α-linolenic acid and nonfatal acute myocardial infarction (MI) in a population-based case-control ...
Does genetic variation in the Δ6-desaturase promoter modify the association between α-linolenic acid and the prevalence of metabolic syndrome?
(2009)
Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with protection against components of the metabolic syndrome, but the role of α-linolenic acid (ALA), the metabolic precursor of EPA and ...
