Biochem/physiol Actions

Stearidonic acid is an 18-carbon containing polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). It belongs to the class of ω-3 fatty acids, which are dietary precursors to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Stearidonic acid is present in small amounts in seed oils.

Eicosapentaenoic acid:docosahexaenoic acid (EPA:DHA) 6:1, an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid formulation, has been shown to induce a sustained formation of endothelial nitric oxide (NO) synthase-derived NO, a major vasoprotective factor. This study examined whether chronic intake of EPA:DHA 6:1 prevents
