Hassam AG, Crawford MA, 1976, Influence of maternal dietary gamma-linolenic acid on the milk and liver lipids of suckling rats., Nutr Metab, Vol: 20, Pages: 112-116, ISSN: 0029-6678
In lactating rats, the dietary essential fatty acids influence the composition of the milk. Feeding gamma-linolenic acid increased not only the level of this acid but also that of the 20 and 22 carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids derived from it, both in the milk and the liver triglyceride lipids of the suckling pups. Maternal nutrition, therefore, would play an important role in providing these long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids during the active phase of growth in the rat.

Hassam AG, Sinclair AJ, Crawford MA, 1975, The incorporation of orally fed radioactive gamma-linolenic acid and linoleic acid into the liver and brain lipids of suckling rats., Lipids, Vol: 10, Pages: 417-420, ISSN: 0024-4201
The incorporation of radioactivity from orally administered gamma-linolenic acid-1--14C and linoleic acid--3H into the liver, plasma, and brain lipids of suckling rats was studied. Significantly more radioactivity from the former compound was incorporated into the liver and brain lipids 22 hr after dosing. The distribution of the radioactivity in the fatty acids of the liver and brain lipids was different for each isotope. Most of the -3H was still associated with linoeic acid, whereas most of the -14C was in the 20:3 and 20:4omega6 fractions. These results suggest that the desaturation of linoleic to gamma-linolenic acid in vivo is a rate-limiting step in the conversion of linoleic to arachidonic acid.

You do not grow bananas in the north of Scotland or raspberries in the Serengeti. Similarly temperate-zone cattle are not suited to Africa’s semi-arid lands but giraffe and eland thrive. So these and other wild species, says the author, should be domesticated for such lands—,40 per cent of Africa south of the Sahara is semi-arid—,with cattle farming restricted to the highlands. In addition, research on new systems of management should aim to make use of the wild animals’ preferences for different grasses, bush and browse—,from the tree-top using giraffe to the root-digging warthog. © 1974, Fauna and Flora International.

1. 1. The composition of fatty acids has been described in the liver, aorta, skeletal and cardiac muscle from two free-living large ruminants. 2. 2. The docosahexaenoate was present in the tissues of these animals only in small amounts. There was more docosapentaenoate than docosahexaenoate. 3. 3. Skeletal and cardiac muscle contained more of the parent vegetable polycnoics (linolenic and linoleic), whereas liver and aorta lipids were richer in their long-chain polyunsaturated derivatives. 4. 4. The liver appeared to be a particularly good source of the complex structural fats. © 1971.
