Stearidonic acid is an \u03c9-3 fatty acid which is sometimes known as moroctic acid. It is biosynthesized from alpha-linolenic acid<\/a> by an enzyme delta-6-desaturase.\u00a0 The natural sources to obtain this fatty acid are blackcurrant<\/a>, seed oils of hemp<\/a>, corn<\/a> gromwell and echium. This acid is present in in dietary plant oils that metabolized to longer chain and more unsaturated (n-3) PUFA<\/a>. It could be used as a precursor to promote EPA content of human lipids and those consolidation of gamma-linolenic acid & stearidonic acid eicosapentaenoic acid could be used to manipulate compositions of fatty acid of lipid in profound ways.<\/p>\n
