[HTML][HTML] Polyunsaturated (n-3) fatty acids susceptible to peroxidation are increased in plasma and tissue lipids of rats fed docosahexaenoic acid–containing oils
JH Song, K Fujimoto, T Miyazawa - The Journal of nutrition, 2000 - Elsevier
Docosahexaenoic acid [DHA, 22: 6 (n-3)], a major component of membrane phospholipids
in brain and retina, is profoundly susceptible to oxidative stress in vitro. The extent of this
peroxidation in organs when DHA is ingested in mammals, however, is not well elucidated.
We investigated the effect of dietary DHA-containing oils (DHA 7.0–7.1 mol/100 mol total
fatty acids), in the form of triacylglycerols (TG), ethyl esters (EE) and phospholipids (PL), on
tissue lipid metabolism and lipid peroxidation in rats. Groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were …
