Abstract
Mono trans geometrical isomers of 20:5 n-3 and 22:6 n-3 were detected in liver lipids of rats fed heated linseed oil. The isomers were identified as being 20:5 delta 5c,8c,11c,14c,17t and 22:6 delta 4c,7c,10c,13c,16c,19t. These fatty acids were isolated as methyl esters by preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) on reversed phase columns followed by silver nitrate thin layer chromatography (AgNO3-TLC). The structures were identified using partial hydrazine reduction, AgNO3-TLC of the resulting monoenes, oxidative ozonolysis of each monoene band, and gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) of the resulting dimethyl esters and monomethyl esters. Fourier-transform-infrared spectrometry confirmed the trans geometry in isolated 20:5 and 22:6 isomers. The isomers of eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acids in liver lipids probably resulted from desaturation and elongation of 18:3 delta 9c,12c,15t, a geometrical isomer of linolenic acid present in the heated dietary oil.
