Upregulated liver conversion of α-linolenic acid to docosahexaenoic acid in rats on a 15 week n-3 PUFA-deficient diets⃞

We quantified incorporation rates of plasma-derived α-linolenic acid (α-LNA, 18:3n-3) into “stable” liver lipids and the conversion rate of α-LNA to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3) in male rats fed, after weaning, an n-3 PUFA-adequate diet (4.6% α-LNA, no DHA) or an n-3 PUFA-deficient diet (0.2%...
