The purpose of this study was to determine whether adult humans can recycle carbon from alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) into saturated (SFA) and monounsaturated (MUFA) fatty acids. Six men and six women consumed 700 mg [U-13C]-18:3n-3. Blood was collected over 21 days and breath over 24h. [13C]-labelled SFA and MUFA were detected in plasma phosphatidylcholine (PC) and triacylglycerol (TAG). Total labelled fatty acid incorporation into SFA and MUFA was five- and 25-fold greater in PC than TAG in men and women, respectively. [13C]-16:0 was the major labelled fatty acid in both fractions. Total [13C] incorporation into SFA and MUFA was 20% greater in men than women, and related positively (r(2) = 0.35, P<0.05) to the fractional recovery of labelled 18:3n-3 as 13CO2 on breath. These results suggest that the extent of partitioning towards beta-oxidation and carbon recycling may regulate the availability of 18:3n-3 for conversion to longer-chain fatty acids.
