✦ Synopsis
Groups of rats were fed diets withpartially hydrogenatedmarine oils,partially hydrogenated peanut oil, and various nonhydrogenated plant oils including rape seed oil. The deposition of arachidonic acid in phosphatidylcholines (PC) from liver mitochondria membranes was reduced, when partially hydrogenated fats were given, especially for the marine fats containing C20-andC22-monoenes.The content oftrans fatty acidsinPC wassimilarin the twogroups fed partially hydrogenated oils,although no dietary C20-and C22-monoenes were deposited. A corresponding decrease in arachidonic acidwas foundinPC from totalliverand heartofrats,butnosignificantchangeswerefoundinthephospholipiddistribution.ThisdecreaseinC20 : 4 (n-6) was showninvitro to be aconsequence oflowerA6-desaturaseactivityrather than increased peroxisomd P-oxidation of this acid. The long-term lesions, found by others, in hearts of rats fed erucic acid could not be correlated with decreased amounts of arachidonic acid in heart phosphatidylcholines.

Rabbit articular chondrocytes were cultured for 8 h in the presence of various concentrations (5-500 microM) of [14C] oleic, [14C] linoleic, and [3H] arachidonic acids. The radioactive unsaturated fatty acids were incorporated into triacylglycerol (TG) and phosphatidylcholine (PC) in a concentration
