Abstract excerpt
Obese (fa/fa) rats fed on control diet have lower proportions of linoleic acid (18:2n-6) and/or arachidonic acid (20:4n6) in IBAT and pancreas phospholipids compared with lean (Fa/-) rats. Lower stearic acid (18:0) to oleic acid (18:1n-9) mean ratios in fa/fa compared with Fa/- suggest enhanced delta 9-desaturase activity in the former. 18:2/20:4 mean ratios in pancreas, but not IBAT, are indicative of a reduced...
