Essential Fatty Acids (EFA) are vitamin-like polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA). They accumulate as highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA) in tissues where they form potent hormone-like eicosanoids that act on selective receptors located in nearly every tissue of the body and affect health. Omega-3 and omega-6 EFA differ in their health impact, and many chronic health disorders are made worse by excessive actions of omega-6 eicosanoids... Metabolism of dietary EFA converts the 18-carbon PUFA into 20- and 22- carbon HUFA that accumulate in tissue membranes...
