Abstract
These results suggest that maternal adaptations used to compensate for diets deficient in long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids include increased endogenous synthesis of AA and elevated uptake of LA in the MG and increased synthesis of medium-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. It appears that the MG and liver participate together for AA synthesis for milk when this fatty acid is not provided in the diet.
