text: Linseed and linseed oil are rich in alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), an essential fatty acid that appears to be beneficial for heart disease.
text: About 49% of the weight of hempseed is an edible oil that contains 76% as polyunsaturated fat, including omega-6 fatty acids such as linoleic acid (LA, 54%) and gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, 3%), and omega-3 fatty acids such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 17%) and stearidonic acid (2%).
text: Though alpha linolenic acid (ALA) is healthy, in some cases, it does not get converted into eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) that are readily absorbed by the body.

text: The series of desaturase and elongase enzymes which generates DHA from ALA (Leonard et al., 2004; Figure 24.1) is also involved in the metabolism of the omega-6 PUFA linoleic acid (LA; 18:2n-6) into its longer-chain, more unsaturated derivatives (e.g. arachidonic acid, AA, 20:4n-6).
