Lipid composition and prostaglandin synthesis in mouse lung microsomes: Alterations following the ingestion of menhaden oil

Abstract: Three groups of male mice were fed a normal diet or a semisynthetic diet containing either 10% hydrogenated coconut oil (CO group) or 10% menhaden oil (MO group) for two wk. The synthetic diet altered the fatty acid composition of lung microsomal lipids. Mice ingesting menhaden oil contained greater amounts of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5 n-3), docosapentaenoic acid (22:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acids (22:6 n-3) and decreased amounts of n-6 fatty acids such as arachidonic and adrenic. Synthesis of prostaglandi… Show more

“…When lauric acid is fed to rats, it fails to enter phospholipids of cardiac tissue (3), lung microsomes ( 12), and lymph (1). Dietary erucic acid is predominantly found in TAG of cardiac (14) and adrenal tissue (6).…”

“…However, there are few reports which address the rates and extent of incorporation and distribution of n-3 PUFA in various tissues in man and experimental animals following fish oil ingestion (Thorngren & Gustafson, 1981 ;Iritani & Narita, 1984;Herold & Kinsella, 1986;Swanson et al 1987~). Differences in the magnitude of modification of tissue fatty acid composition and alteration in eicosanoid synthesis induced by fish oil ingestion have also been observed between species, tissues and lipid classes (Croft et al 1984;Lokesh et al 1985;Sanders, 1985a, 6 ;Knapp et al 1986). …”

“…The delay in foetal growth caused by fish-oil diets has been ascribed to an insufficient n -6 essential fatty acid intake (Clarke et al, 1988). The deficit in these fatty acids affects important physiological functions related to membrane phospholipids and inhibits of prostanoid synthesis (Lokesh and Kinsella, 1985).…”
