Quantifying conversion of linoleic to arachidonic and other n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids in unanesthetized rats
Isotope feeding studies report a wide range of conversion fractions of dietary shorter-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to long-chain PUFAs, which limits assessing nutritional requirements and organ effects of arachidonic (AA, 20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic (DHA, 22:6n-3) acids.
