General description
Vitamin F is a mixture of the only two essential polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), such as linoleic acid (LA), and α linolenic acid (ALA) required by humans.[1] α-linolenic acid satisfies the need for an omega-3 fatty acid back-bone structure and linoleic acid satisfies the need for an omega-6 fatty acids back-bone structure.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Vitamin F or linoleic acid exhibits restorative properties and properties, which may aid in skin-care. Therefore, it is used in cosmetics and dermatology.[2]

The developmentally-dependent differences in the biological significances and effects of PUFA-OMEGA-6 (namely of arachidonic acid) and PUFA-OMEGA-3 (namely of docosahexaenoic acid) are discussed. The clinical results as well as developmental experiences are indicating a hypothesis of the evolution that created

n-6 PUFA are well known for their critical role in many physiological functions and seem to reduce risks of CHD. However, some argue that excessive consumption of n-6 PUFA may lead to adverse effects on health and therefore recommend reducing

Epidemiological, human, animal, and cell culture studies show that n-3 fatty acids, especially α-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), reduce the risk factors of cardiovascular diseases. EPA and DHA, rather than ALA, have been the focus

In order to verify the hypothesis that at least during perinatal life the amount of active sleep (AS) is dependent on the level of the brain maturation, newborn rats received by an i.p. route for 6 days, a polyunsaturated fatty

Linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids are essential unsaturated fatty acids which were referred to as vitamin F much earlier. Their biological significance is to be converted to eicosapolyenoic acids including arachidonic acid which are the precursors of bioactive eicosanoids such as
