Effect of flax and hemp seed oils on erythrocyte concentrations of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in vegetarians
Flax and hemp seed oils are rich sources of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA; 18:3n-3), which can be converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) in humans. We investigated the effects of these oils on erythrocyte concentrations of EPA, DHA, other fatty acids, a...
