oils rich in alpha-linolenic acid independently protect against characteristics of fatty liver disease in the delta-6 desaturase mouse
The biological activity of α-linolenic acid (ALA) is poorly understood and primarily associated with its conversion to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This study used the Δ6 desaturase knockout (D6KO) mouse, which lacks Δ6 desaturase and therefore cannot convert ALA, to...
