  • Title: [Effects of dietary omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids on levels of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in erythrocytes].
    Author: Driss F, Duranthon V, Darcet P, Henry O.
    Journal: C R Seances Soc Biol Fil; 1991; 185(1-2):14-20. PubMed ID: 1799877.
    Abstract:
    C18:2 omega 6/C18:3 omega 3 ratio was lowered in the diet of Elderly subjects. This was done by the replacement of usual sunflower oil by rapeseed oil or by supplementing soybean oil. This diet modification induced an increase of EPA (C20:5 omega 3) and DHA (C22:6 omega 3) in red cell phospholipids. The omega 6 fatty acids (C18:2 and C20:4) were slightly modified. Therefore, dietary C18:2 omega 6/C18:3 omega 3 ratio, seems to play an important role in the determination of membrane highly unsaturated fatty acid levels.
