Encephale 2003 Feb;29(Pt 1):49-58 ABSTRACT Polyunsatured fatty acids are made out of a herbs hydrocarbonated chain of variable length with several double bonds. The position of the first double bond (w; omega) differentiates polyunsatured w3 fatty acids (for example: alpha-linolenic acid or a-LNA) and polyunsatured w6 fatty acids (for example: linoleic acid or LA). These two classes of fatty acids are said to be essential because they cannot be synthetised by the organism and have to be taken from alimentation. The w3 are present in linseed oil, nuts, soya beans, wheat and cold water fish whereas w6 are herbs present in maize, sunflower and sesame oil. Fatty acids are part of phospholipids and, consequently, of all biological membranes. The membrane fluidity, of crucial importance for its functionning, depends on its lipidic components.
