| Abstract: | Young and old mice of several strains were fed semipurified diets differing in polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acid ratio. The level of linoleic acid in phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine fractions of splenocyte membrane was determined. Lower levels of linoleic acid in membranes of older animals were observed when compared with membranes of young animals fed diets for the same period. Change in 18:2(6) content of splenocytes, as a result of feeding the different diets for periods of 1, 4, or 6 weeks, was observed. The degree of change in membrane 18:2(6) content was strain-dependent. These results suggest that regulatory balance for integration of fatty acyl chains into the phospholipid matrix may be age-related and genetically controlled. © 1986 Pergamon Journals Ltd. |
