Incorporation of n−3 fatty acids into plasma and liver lipids of rats: Importance of background dietary fat
The health benefits of long-chain n−3 PUFA (20∶5n−3 and 22∶6n−3) depend on the extent of incorporation of these FA into plasma and tissue lipids. This study aimed to investigate the effect of the background di...
