Incorporation of Fatty Acids into Tissue Phospholipids in Mice Fed Diets Rich in n-9 and n-6 Fatty Acids

The aim of this study was to investigate phospholipid fatty acid profile and dietary fatty acids effects in the liver, lung, spleen and submandibular gland mice tissues. Palmitic (16:0) and stearic (18:0) fatty acids were major saturates in all the tissues studied. Oleic acid (18:1n-9) was the major monounsaturated in the phospholipid fraction in all tissues. Docosahexaenoic acid (22:6n-3) was the major polyunsaturated in the liver and lung, arachidonic acid (20:4n-6) was the major polyunsaturated in the spleen, and linoleic acid (18:2n-6) in the submandibular gland tissue samples. Presented data support the hypothesis that diet induced changes by corn oil increase linoleic acid (18:2n-6), and olive oil increases the oleic acid (18:1n-9) content in total phospholipid fatty acid composition in the majority of the examined tissues. The liver tissue was the most affected one by the applied diet.
