Abstract
Effect of a polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) concentrate containing about 80 percentage free acids at a level of 1 percentage of the diet, on the fatty acid profile of the lipids of liver and heart of rats fed on it for a period of three months was investigated. Law levels of dietary PUFA influence fatty acid composition of the lipids in liver and heart. The pattern of changes was different in the two organs, indicating tissue specificity to n-3 PUFA.
