How can you use “α-linolenic” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

The individual percent compositions for α-linolenic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids were summed to estimate the fraction of n-3 fatty acids.
For the n-3 family of polyunsaturated fatty acids, the long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from α-linolenic acid (C18:3n-3), namely eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6n-3), were significantly reduced in the membrane phospholipids of the SCD subjects.
In contrast, significant positive correlations were found between the phase angle and the following long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids of the n-3 series and which are derived from α-linolenic acid: eicosapentaenoic acid,20:5n-3, p < 0.001; docosapentaenoic acid, 22:5 n-3, p < 0.001; and docosahexaenoic acid, 22:6n-3, p < 0.001.
In a previous study of the fatty acid composition of the serum phospholipids of children with SCD and healthy controls that we conducted in Nigeria [ 8 ] , we found that the serum phospholipids of SCD patients and controls had comparable levels of linoleic and α-linolenic acid.
Of the two nutritionally essential fatty acids, linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and α-linolenic acid (18:3n-3), only linoleic acid was significantly correlated with phase angle (p = 0.012).
