A Whole Body, In Vivo, Fatty Acid Balance Method to Quantify PUFA Metabolism (Desaturation, Elongation and Beta-oxidation)

Erratum to: Lipids (2007) 42:1065–1071 DOI 10.1007/s11745-007-3105-x

Page 1068–1070, in “Computation Example”, "Discussion" and also in Table 1: there has been a mistake in reporting the unit measure. In all instances in which in the text it was reported mmol (millimoles) it should be written μmol (micromoles).

Page 1066, right column, line 15: “(=FA accumulation − FA intake − FA excretion)” should be “[=FA accumulation − (FA intake − FA excretion)]”.

Page 1068, left column, Eq. 13:

• 1. in the text: “per day” should be “per total no. of days”.

• 2. The reported equation contains two mistakes. “Gram of BW day⁻¹ = (initial body weight + final body weight) × 2⁻¹ × no. of days⁻¹” should be “Gram of BW day = (initial body weight + final body weight) × 2⁻¹ × no. of days”.

• 3. On the right side of the equation the indication of the Eq. (13) is missing.

Page 1068, left column, Eqs. 14, 15 and 16: “(gram of BW day⁻¹)” should be “(gram of BW day)” and similarly on pp. 1069–1070, where the same equations were reported in the “Computation Example”

Page 1065, right column, line 6: “18:3” should be “18:3n-3”.
