The role of dietary cholesterol on both linolenic acid Δ6-desaturation and tissue fatty acid composition was assessed. Cholesterol enrichment increased Δ6-desaturation activity and this was reflected in the increased product-precursor ratio of γ-linolenic to linoleic acid in microsomal phospholipids...
