Effects of an n-3-deficient diet on brain, retina, and liver fatty acyl composition in artificially reared rats

Rat pups born to dams fed a diet with 3.1% of total fatty acids as α-linolenic acid (LNA) were fed, using an artificial rearing system, either an n-3-deficient (n-3-Def) or an n-3-adequate (n-3-Adq) diet. Both diets contained 17.1% linoleic acid, but the n-3-Adq diet also contained 3.1% LNA. The per...
