Rats raised for 10 weeks on fat-free or lab chow diets were sacrificed, their retinas removed, and rod outer segments prepared for lipid analysis. No differences were found in the phospholipid composition and only small differences were observed in the fatty acid distribution in the phospholipids of these photoreceptor membranes. The usual indicator of essential fatty acid deficiency, 20:3ω9, accumulated in all of the tissues examined except the retina and the photoreceptor membranes. Since rat photoreceptor membranes are completely renewed every 9 days the retina must have a mechanism for conserving its abundant supply of ω3 polyunsaturates.
