The modification of mammalian membrane polyunsaturated fatty acid composition in relation to membrane fluidity and function
The earlier studies aimed at investigating the response of tissue fatty acyl composition to
variation in dietary fat were predominantly concerned with the state of essential fatty acid
deficiency [91-95] and its correction. In dietary studies a fat-free diet or a diet containing only
saturated fatty acids is often still used as one extreme point of reference. Later, interest
developed in the effect of feeding levels of polyunsaturated fatty acids much in excess of the
minimum dietary requirement for health, partly due to suggestions that this could have a …
