| Abstract | Docosahexaenoic acid (C22:6ω3) generated in the liver from circulating -linolenic acid (C18:3ω3) was recently proposed as the source of brain C22:6ω3 when the latter fatty acid is absent from the diet. The present study aims at exploring whether a comparable situation prevails in Types 1 and 2 diabetic rats, even when exposed to a normal diet. The fatty acid profile of liver, plasma and brain phospholipids (PL) was examined in 22 rats including 6 streptozotocin-induced diabetic animals (Type 1 diabetes), 8 Goto-Kakizaki rats (Type 2 diabetes) and 8 control animals. Both fed and overnight starved rats of both genders were included in this study. To avoid the interference of any group effect, all individual results were expressed relative to the mean value found in animals of the same gender, same strain, same nutritional situation and same glycemic status, such results being referred to as normalized values. Significant positive correlations were observed between the normalized values for the C22:6ω3 relative weight content of liver and plasma PL and, after exclusion of 2 female control rats with an abnormally high brain/plasma PL C22:6ω3 ratio, plasma and brain PL. Noticeably, the variation coefficients (SD/mean) for the 3 variables did not exceed 7.1±1.8%. A comparable situation prevailed between liver, plasma and brain triglycerides. Our results suggest that circulating PL participate in the transfer of C22:6ω3 from the liver to the brain, even in control and diabetic rats not deprived of a dietary source of long-chain polyunsaturated ω3 fatty acids. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
