The Influence of Dietary Fat on The Cerebral Microvasculature: Compositional, Prostaglandin Synthetic, and Permeability Studies
Abstract
dc:descriptionIn order to investigate the effects of long-term feeding of single fat sources, differing in essential fatty acids, on membrane-based phenomena in the cerebral cortex and microvasculature the following studies were conducted. Rats fed purified diets containing 10% corn, hydrogenated coconut, or linseed oils through two generations were sacrificed and the following items measured: fatty acyl composition of phospholipids, prostaglandin F(,2(alpha)) and prostacyclin synthesis by cortical slices and microvessels, respectively, kinetic parameters of adenosine uptake, and the potential involvement of eicosanoids in the uptake process.
