About Lesson

Polyunsaturated Fatty acids

  1. Linoleic acid ( Δ9, 12)
  2. Arachidonic acid ( Δ5,8, 11, 14)
  • Potent aggregating agent
  • Inhibits coagulation and thrombosis
  • Serves as precursors of a group of biochemically active compounds such as prostaglandins, prostacyclin, thromboxane, and leukotrienes.

 

3. Linolenic acid ( Δ9,12,15)

  • Decreases the risk of heart disease.
  • Decreases platelet aggregation.

 

Types of Linolenic Acid

i. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)

  • Occurs in marine lipids.
  • Increases inflammatory responses.
  • Inhibits chemotactic and aggregating activities of neutrophils.

 

ii. Docosohexaenoic acid (DHA)

  • Occurs principally in lipids of the Nervous system.
