Difference between Fat and Omega-6 fatty acid

Fat vs. Omega-6 fatty acid

Fat is one of the three main macronutrients, along with carbohydrate and protein. Omega-6 fatty acids (also referred to as ω-6 fatty acids or n-6 fatty acids) are a family of polyunsaturated fatty acids that have in common a final carbon-carbon double bond in the ''n''-6 position, that is, the sixth bond, counting from the methyl end.

Similarities between Fat and Omega-6 fatty acid

Fat and Omega-6 fatty acid have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alpha-Linolenic acid, Essential fatty acid, Linoleic acid, Nutrient, Omega-3 fatty acid, Polyunsaturated fat, Vegetable oil.

Alpha-Linolenic acid

α-Linolenic acid (ALA) is an n−3 fatty acid.

Essential fatty acid

Essential fatty acids, or EFAs, are fatty acids that humans and other animals must ingest because the body requires them for good health but cannot synthesize them.

Linoleic acid

Linoleic acid (LA), a carboxylic acid, is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid, an 18-carbon chain with two double bonds in cis configuration.
