α-Linolenic acid (sodium)

α-Linolenic acid sodium, isolated from Perilla frutescens, is an essential fatty acid that cannot be synthesized by humans. α-Linolenic acid sodium can affect the process of thrombotic through the modulation of PI3K/Akt signaling. α-Linolenic acid sodium possess the anti-arrhythmic properties and is related to cardiovascular disease and cancer[1].
