Message definition (Omega-3 fatty acid)
===Example===
For example, α-linolenic acid (ALA; illustration) is an 18-carbon chain having three double bonds, the first being located at the third carbon from the methyl end of the fatty acid chain. Hence, it is an omega''−''3 fatty acid. Counting from the other end of the chain, that is the [[carboxyl group|carboxyl]] end, the three double bonds are located at carbons 9, 12, and 15. These three locants are typically indicated as Δ9c, Δ12c, Δ15c, or cisΔ<sup>9</sup>, cisΔ<sup>12</sup>, cisΔ<sup>15</sup>, or cis-cis-cis-Δ<sup>9,12,15</sup>, where ''c'' or ''cis'' means that the double bonds have a [[Cis–trans isomerism|''cis'' configuration]].
