  • Title: Influence of linseed oil diet on the pattern of serum phospholipids in man.
    Author: Beitz J, Mest HJ, Förster W.
    Journal: Acta Biol Med Ger; 1981; 40(7-8):K31-K35. PubMed ID: 6277115.
    Abstract:
    We gave 11 volunteers 30 ml linseed oil daily for 4 weeks. This diet increased the amount of linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid in the serum phospholipids within 1 week, whereas the amount of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid was decreased. Both effects were statistically significant. The results suggest that eicosapentaenoic acid can be synthesized from alpha-linolenic acid in human organism.
