Abstract

Fatty acid turnover in the domestic pig was estimated by measuring the half-life of linolenic acid depletion in adipose tissue depots which had been made abnormally high in linolenic acid by feeding large quantities of linseed oil. The measured half-life of linolenate in 8- to 12-month-old pigs was 300 days. The apparent half-life of linolenate in muscle lipids was less than that of subcutaneous backfat.
