High impact information on linolenic acid

While the fatty acids linolenic acid (cis-9, cis-12, cis-15-octadecatrienoic acid at 1 mM) and capric acid (Decanoic acid, at 0.1 mM) have both been proposed to stimulate tegumental transformation, we show that neither promotes the morphogenesis of a normal schistosomulum tegument [1].
Crystallization and polymorphic properties of linoleic acid (cis-9, cis-12-Octadecadienoic acid) (LA) and alpha-linolenic acid (cis-9, cis-12, cis-15-Octadecatrienoic acid) (alpha-LNA) have been studied by optical microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) [2].
