Conversion of alpha-linolenate to docosahexaenoate is not depressed by high dietary levels of linoleate in young rats: tracer evidence using high precision mass spectrometry.
The conversion of alpha-linolenate (18:3n-3) to docosahexaenoate (22:6n-3) in the presence of low and high dietary levels of linoleate (18:2n-6) is reported in young rats using [U-13C]-alpha-linolenic acid (18:2n-3*) and high precision gas chromatography-combustion isotope ratio mass spectrometry (G...
