Abstract	Animal and human studies have indicated that developing mammals fed only α-linolenic acid (18∶3n−3) have lower docosahexaenoic acid (22∶6n−3) content in brain and tissue phospholipids when compared with mammals fed 18∶3n−3 plus 22∶6n−3. The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that low bioavailability of dietary 18∶−3 to be converted to 22∶6n−3 could partly explain this difference in fatty acid accretion. For that purpose, we determined the partitioning of dietary 18∶3n−3 and 22∶6n−3 between total n−3 fatty acid body accumulation, excretion, and disappearance (difference between the intake and the sum of total n−3 fatty acids accumulated and excreted). This was assessed using the quantitative method of whole-body fatty acid balance in growing rats fed the same amount of a 5% fat diet supplying either 18∶3n−3 or 22∶6n−3 at a level of 0.45% of dietary energy (i.e., 200 mg/100 g diet). We found that 58.9% of the total amount of 18∶3n−3 ingested disappeared, 0.4% was excreted in feces, 21.2% accumulated as 18∶3n−3 (50% in total fats and 46% in the carcass-skin compartment), and 17.2% accumulated as long-chain derivatives (14% as 22∶6n−3 and 3.2% as 20∶5n−3+22∶5n−3). Similar results were obtained from the docosahexaenoate balance (as % of the total amount ingested): disappearance, 64.5%; excretion, 0.5%; total accumulation, 35% with 30.1% as 22∶6n−3. Thus, rats fed docosahexaenoate accumulated a twofold higher amount of 22∶6n−3, which was mainly deposited in the carcass-skin compartment (68%). Similar proportions of disappearance of dietary 18∶−3 and 22∶6n−3 lead us to speculate that these two n−3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were β-oxidized in the same amount.
