The words "alpha" and "gamma" alkene in this case have no chemical meaning. The confusing terms "alpha-linolenic" and "gamma-linolenic" are common names, not scientific names, and are meaningless in the context of current scientific naming alkene conventions. Another important product of linoleic acid is arachidonic acid. Arachidonic acid is a 20-carbon omega-6 fatty acid with 4 double-bonds. Arachidonic acid, in turn, gives rise to a whole alkene group of 20-carbon, biologically-important substances known as the eicosanoids (eicosa- is Greek for "20"), including prostaglandins, thromboxanes, lipoxins and leukotrienes -- which affect immunity, inflammation and blood clotting (among other actions). Noteworthy members of the omega-3 family of fatty acids manufactured from alpha-linolenic acid are EicosaPentaenoic Acid (EPA) and DocasaHexaenoic Acid (DHA).
