Elongation, desaturation, and esterification of essential fatty acids by fetal rat brain in vivo.
Tracer amounts of either [1-14C]linolenic (18:3n-3, LNA), or [1-14C]linoleic (18:2n-6, LA) acids were intracranially injected into 19- to 20-day-old rat fetuses, and the time course of the in vivo formation and esterification of their long chain polyenoic metabolites was determined for up to 20 h. A...
