L'acide eicosapentaénoïque (AEP). Le corps humain peut le synthétiser à partir de l'acide alpha-linolénique, bien que le taux de conversion soit très faible. Il est donc important de consommer des aliments riches en AEP, notamment certains poissons gras. 5, record 1, French, - acide%205Z%2C8Z%2C11Z%2C14Z%2C17Z%2Deicosapenta%C3%A9no%C3%AFque
