Linoleic Acid vs. Linolenic Acid Difference

Linoleic acid and linoleic acid cannot be synthesized in the body, or the amount synthesized is far from meeting the daily fatty acid needs, essential fatty acids.Essential fatty acids refer to polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) that are essential for the body's life activities, but the body itself cannot synthesize them and must be supplied by food. There are two main types of essential fatty acids, one is α-linolenic acid (18:3) in the ω-3 series, and the other is linoleic acid (18:2) in the ω-6 series.. Linolenic acid (α-linolenic acid cas:463-40-1 and γ-linolenic acid):α-linolenic aci [...]
