- Dietary intakes and food sources of omega-6 and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (2003, methodology): “Within the cells, EFA and LC-PUFAs will be used for the production of energy (β–oxidation) and incorporation into membrane phospholipid structure (Burdge & Calder, 2005; Green, Orr, & Bazinet, 2008).”
- alpha-Linolenic acid supplementation and conversion to n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in humans. (2009, background): “Burdge and Calder [14] concluded that ALA supplementation of human subjects generally led to an increase in EPA and in several studies, in DPAn-3, but little or no effects on DHA content in plasma fractions and in circulating blood cells.”
- Alpha-linolenic acid and its conversion to longer chain n-3 fatty acids: benefits for human health and a role in maintaining tissue n-3 fatty acid levels. (2009, background): “Hence, the point regarding conversion in humans of ALA to longer chain n 3 fatty acids is still subject to significant debate [121,122].”
