α-Linolenic acid (ALA) is an essential fatty acid found in leafy green vegetables. ALA, as part of a low saturated fat diet, helps prevent cardiovascular disease. ALA decreases blood pressure, serum cholesterol levels, and platelet aggregation. Linolenic acid ethyl ester (LAEE) is a neutral, more lipophilic form of the free acid that can be used as an exogenous source of α-linolenic acid. This ethanol metabolite may contribute to ethanol-induced hepatic fibrogenesis through stimulation of intracellular signaling pathways in hepatic stellate cells (HSC). LAEE increases cyclin E expression and Cdk2 activity as well as increases ERK and JNK activity.
