We evaluated the utilization of alpha-linolenic acid (18:3n-3) in growing rats consuming a diet deficient in n-6 PUFA. After 90 d, whole-body 18:3n-3 accumulation was 55% lower, total n-3 PUFA accumulation was 21% lower, and 18:3n-3 disappearance was 14% higher in n-6 PUFA-deficient rats. Part of the reduction of whole-body 18:3n-3 in n-6 PUFA-deficient rats was due to the 25% increase in net conversion of 18:3n-3 to long-chain n-3 PUFA. Despite adequate 18:3n-3 intake, n-6 PUFA deficiency decreased the accumulation of 18:3n-3 and total n-3 PUFA.
