   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_omega-3_fatty_acids

   Omega−3 fatty acids are important for normal metabolism. [ 2 ] Mammals are unable to synthesize omega−3 fatty acids, but can obtain the shorter-chain omega−3 fatty acid ALA (18 carbons and 3 double bonds) through diet and use it to form the more important long-chain omega−3 fatty acids, EPA (20 carbons and 5 double bonds) and then from ...

3. Omega-3 fatty acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omega-3_fatty_acid

   An omega−3 fatty acid is a fatty acid with multiple double bonds, where the first double bond is between the third and fourth carbon atoms from the end of the carbon atom chain. "Short-chain" omega−3 fatty acids have a chain of 18 carbon atoms or less, while "long-chain" omega−3 fatty acids have a chain of 20 or more.

   The proportion of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in a diet may have metabolic consequences. [2] Unlike omega-3 fatty acids and omega-6 fatty acids, omega-9 fatty acids are not classed as essential fatty acids because they can be created by the human body from monounsaturated and saturated fatty acids, and are therefore not essential in the diet.

7. Essential fatty acid interactions - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid...

   Essential fatty acids are necessary for humans but cannot be synthesized by the body and must therefore be obtained from food. Omega-3 and omega-6 are used in some cellular signaling pathways and are involved in mediating inflammation, protein synthesis, and metabolic pathways in the human body. Arachidonic acid (AA) is a 20-carbon omega-6 ...
