Nimal Ratnayake Background/Aims: We tested whether feeding hamsters diets varying in α-linolenic acid (ALA) content and low in linoleic acid (LA) could increase the tissue levels of eicosapentaenoic acid...

...Mono Saito This study was undertaken to compare the effects of three major dietary n-3 fatty acids, i.e. α-linolenic acid (C18:3, n-3; LN), eicosapentaenoic acid (C20:5, n-3; EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6, n-3; DHA), on liver microsomal mixed-function oxidase activities with and without...

Three...

... total lipids, linoleic acid in the POE and SOE groups and α-linolenic acid in the POE group were significantly increased compared with those in the FF group. Arachidonic acid (AA) in the POE and FF groups were significantly decreased compared with that in the SOE group. Otherwise, eicosapentaenoic acid...

...Yong-Soon Choi; Michihiro Sugano The effect of age on lipid metabolism was studied in rats fed diets containing saffiower oil (SFO, 78% linoleic acid), evening primrose oil (EPO, 9.4% γ-linolenic acid and 70% linoleic acid) or the mixture of saffiower and linseed oil (SLO, 10.2% α-linolenic acid...

...T.A.B. Sanders; Surinder K. Rana The metabolism by the fetal rat of [1– 14 C] linoleic acid (18:2 n-6) was compared with that of [1– 14 C] α-linolenic acid (18:3 n-3) studied in vivo and in vitro. Both linoleic and α-linolenic acid were rapidly converted to long-chain derivatives in fetal brain...
