Docosahexaenoic acid is both a product of and a precursor to tetracosahexaenoic acid in the rat[S]
Tetracosahexaeoic acid (THA; 24:6n-3) is thought to be the immediate precursor of DHA in rodents; however, the relationship between THA and DHA metabolism has not been assessed in vivo. Here, we infused unesterified 2H5-THA and 13C22-DHA, at a steady state, into two groups of male Long-Evans rats an...
