α-Linolenic Acid Analysis Service

α-Linolenic Acid is abbreviated as ALA and is a a kind of omega-3 fatty acid found in seeds of chia, flaxseed, nuts and many common vegetable oils. α-Linolenic Acid is one of two essential fatty acids, which humans and other animals must ingest because the body requires them for good health but cannot synthesize them by themselves. In terms of its structure, α-Linolenic Acid consists with an 18-carbon chain and three cis double bonds. α-Linolenic Acid is an isomer of gamma-linolenic acid, which is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid and be found primarily in vegetable oils.

Scientists at Creative Proteomics utilize a highly quantitative method with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of α-Linolenic Acid levels in various samples, including Tissue, Plant and more. High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection is used for the determination of α-Linolenic Acid (203 nm) levels in a lot of biological samples. This Methodology provides accurate, reliable, and reproducible results of α-Linolenic Acid measurement, which enables us to analyze of α-Linolenic Acid levels in vitro and in vivo.

There are a number of studies have shown that α-Linolenic Acid has effect on an increased risk of prostate cancer and the risk was found to be irrespective of source of α-Linolenic Acid, such as meat, vegetable oil. However, a study done in 2006 suggested that there are no inevitable connection between the total α-Linolenic Acid intake and the overall risk of prostate cancer, in the following study, a meta-analysis shows that the results published in the earlier years are biased. So, the scientists concluded that the relationship between the intake of α-Linolenic Acid and the increased risk of prostate cancer is quite small.

The Russian-Polish botanist M. Tswett is generally recognized as the first person to establish the principles of chromatography. In a paper he presented in 1906, Tswett described how he filled a glass tube with chalk powder (CaCO3) and, by allowing an ether solution of chlorophyll to flow through the chalk, separated the chlorophyll into layers of different colors. He called this technique “chromatography”. Fundamentally, chromatography is a technique used to separate the components contained in a sample. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a method able to separate non-volatile, thermally unstable, and polar components separate or in a mixture. HPLC is a type of chromatography that, because of its wide application range and quantitative accuracy, is regarded as an indispensable analytical technique, particularly in the field of organic chemistry. It is also widely used as a preparation technique for the isolation and purification of target components contained in mixtures.

From Our Clients

"I recently used their proteomics service for a project analyzing protein interactions in yeast models. The team was very responsive and helped clarify the methodology they employed, which made me feel confident in the results. The data quality was solid, with clear identification of several key proteins involved in our study. Their thorough analysis enabled me to pinpoint specific interactions that I hadn't considered before, which significantly improved the direction of my research. I appreciate their professionalism and support throughout the process."

Sarah Thompson, University of California, Berkeley

"Our lab collaborated with them on a project studying cancer biomarkers. The proteomics analysis provided was detailed and focused, specifically highlighting the differential expression of proteins between healthy and tumor samples. Their clear explanations of the data helped my team understand the biological implications. I also appreciated their willingness to revise the reports based on our feedback, ensuring that we had everything we needed for our publication. This collaborative spirit was invaluable."

Emily Rodriguez, Stanford University

"Our lab worked with them on a project studying the effects of diet on gut microbiota using proteomics. They used a label-free quantification method to analyze proteins in fecal samples before and after dietary intervention. The results showed significant changes in protein expression linked to microbial activity. This was pivotal for our hypothesis about diet-microbiota interactions. The clarity of their data presentation made it easy for our team to integrate these findings into our ongoing research."

Dr. Lisa Wong, University of Toronto

"My experience with Creative Proteomics during the mass spectrometry analysis was excellent. We sent in human saliva and mouse brain tissue samples, which they expertly analyzed using both LC-MS and GC-MS techniques. The results were invaluable, revealing key metabolites in the saliva and identifying biomarkers linked to brain function in the brain tissue."

Dr. Emily Carter, Senior Research Scientist

"The overall service from Creative Proteomics was outstanding. They made the entire process seamless and efficient, allowing us to focus on our research. We worked with leaf and root samples from various Arabidopsis genotypes for targeted metabolomics analysis. Their thorough profiling of primary and secondary metabolites gave us important insights into how the plants respond metabolically to environmental stress."

Dr. Laura Henderson, Plant Physiologist

"We had a pleasant collaboration with Creative Proteomics on mass spectrometry analysis of lipids. They conducted a detailed analysis of lipid species, providing us with important insights into lipid metabolism and its relationship with metabolic syndrome disease states."

Dr. Sarah Mitchell, Research Scientist
