Incorporation of monomeric cyclic fatty acids into biological material

3 Incorporation of monomeric cyclic fatty acids into biological material 

GC separation of all sixteen CFAMs from heated linseed oil can be achieved by using two different columns (Fig. 5.11 Dobson, Christie and Sebedio, 1996c). In a study where only small amounts of material were available, this approach was used to show that in pregnant rats fed a diet containing CFAMs from heated linseed oil, a cyclohexenyl acid with an E double bond at C-8 was preferentially incorporated into the liver phospholipids of the dam and the pups (Sebedio et al, 1996b).
