2. Fatty acid ratio in food - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatty_acid_ratio_in_food

   Fatty acid ratio in food. Proportion of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids in a diet. Only two essential fatty acids are known to be essential for humans: alpha-linolenic acid (an omega-3 fatty acid) and linoleic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid). [1] The biological effects of the ω-3 and ω-6 fatty acids are mediated by their mutual interactions.

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.

   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 ...

6. Essential fatty acid - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essential_fatty_acid

   Deficiency in omega−3 fatty acids are very common. The average American has a dietry ratio between omega−6 fatty acids and omega−3 fatty acids of 20:1. When the two EFAs were discovered in 1923, they were designated "vitamin F", but in 1929, research on rats showed that the two EFAs are better classified as fats rather than vitamins. [8]
