Low liver conversion rate of α-linolenic to docosahexaenoic acid in awake rats on a high-docosahexaenoate-containing diet

Low liver conversion rate of α-linolenic to docosahexaenoic acid in awake rats on a high-docosahexaenoate-containing diet

We quantified the rates of incorporation of α-linolenic acid (α-LNA; 18:3n-3) into “stable” lipids (triacylglycerol, phospholipid, cholesteryl ester) and the rate of conversion of α-LNA to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22: 6n-3) in the liver of awake male rats on a high-DHA-containing diet after a 5-mi...
