Abstract
The polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition of murine peritoneal macrophage phospholipids was dramatically altered in vivo following the four-wk feeding of specific dietary oils. Fish oil (containing 20∶5n–3 and 22∶6n−3) feeding significantly increased macrophage 20∶5n−3, 22∶5n−3, and 22∶6n−3 (P<0.05), while borage oil (containing 18∶2n−6 and 18∶3n−6) increased (P<0.05) the macrophage 20∶3n−6/20∶4n−6 ratio, relative to safflower oil (containing 18∶2n−6) and hydrogenated coconut oil (containing 12∶0)-fed animals. The macrophage phospholipid PUFA profiles were compared with those of the liver, lung and spleen. The significance of the PUFA alterations is discussed.This publication has 20 references indexed in Scilit:
