摘要: Adult male unanesthetized rats, reared on a diet enriched in both alpha-linolenic acid (alpha-LNA) and docosahexaenoic (DHA), were infused intravenously for 5 min with [1-(14)C]alpha-LNA. Timed arterial samples collected until the animals killed at brain was removed after microwaving. Plasma lipid concentrations radioactivities measured. Within plasma lipids, > 99% of radioactivity form unchanged Eighty-six per cent present as beta-oxidation products, whereas remainder mainly 'stable' phospholipid or triglyceride alpha-LNA DHA. Equations derived from kinetic modeling demonstrated that unesterified unlabeled rapidly enters plasma, but its incorporation into triglyceride, synthesized DHA, is < = 0.2% amount brain. Thus, rats fed containing large amounts largely undergoes beta-oxidation, not an appreciable source DHA within phospholipids.
