Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) from Rosa canina, sacha inchi and chia oils may increase ALA accretion and its conversion into n-3 LCPUFA in diverse tissues of the rat
Abstract
Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential n -3 PUFA; its n -3 LCPUFA derivatives EPA and DHA, which have diverse beneficial effects, are scarce in the human diet.

Chia seeds' high insoluble fiber content lowers blood pressure more effectively than soluble fiber.
“Previous studies have highlighted the beneficial components of chia seeds for cardiovascular health, including their high insoluble fiber content, which more effectively lowers BP than soluble fiber [29, 38–41].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
