“Feeding omega-3 rich forage increases linolenic acid and long-chain PUFA in beef lipids, an effect increased by ruminally-protecting lipids, but consequently may alter flavour characteristics and shelf-life.”
“Subgroup analysis indicated that omega-3 fatty acid supplementation was associated with a reduction in total mortality risk if the proportion of men in the study population was more than 80%, or participants received alpha-linolenic acid.”
“as are found in vegans or in the diet of omnivores in Western societies, would tend to slow down the formation of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids from ALA.”
“ omega-3 Linolenic acid significantly, but reversibly, inhibited growth at 1.8, 2.5, and 5 x 10(-4) M (p < 0.01), while concentrations of 10(-3) M killed virtually all organisms, with cell lysis observed by electron microscopy.”
“Bacterial clearance (measured by the plating of sorted viable infected cells) was significantly higher with n-3 fatty acids alpha-linolenic acid ( ALA ) and docosahexanoic acid (DHA).”

“The results suggest that the small increase in the proportion of n-3 fatty acids in the sperm phospholipids induced by enriching the diet with alpha-linolenic acid is associated with a significant improvement in semen quality at 39 weeks of age.”

“Sensory studies were also conducted using the eggs … for 2 wk at 4 C. Dietary LNA increased the … of n-3 fatty acids (6.5%) in total lipid, and over 70% was C18:3n3, and the rest was C22:6n3 (20 to 25%) and C22:5n3 (5 to 10%).”
“The diet rich in alphalinolenic acid (C 18:3 n-3) induced a significant increase of the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (C 22:5 and C 22:6, n-3) in the brain, with respect to the other experimental conditions.”

“Our results suggest that omega-3 linolenic acid counteracts the elevation of TRF1 levels, which increase with age and due to the presence of reactive oxygen species in muscle.”

“ Dietary α-linolenic acid (LNA) significantly (p < 0.05) increased the proportion of n-3 fatty acids and the degree of unsaturation in the neutral lipids and phospholipids.”
