• Description: Linolenic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is an essential component of human nutrition. Linolenic acid has apoptosis-inducing properties and has been shown to induce the mitochondrial membrane potential in neuronal cells and induce neuronal death by decreasing the levels of pge2. Linolenic acid also participates in energy metabolism, as it can be converted into arachidonic acid, which is a precursor for prostaglandins. Linolenic acid has been shown to have physiological effects on humans, such as improving eye disorders and congestive heart failure. It does not seem to be linked with any toxicity or adverse effects.
