title: Triacylglycerol content of arachidonic acid varies inversely with total triacylglycerol in liver and plasma.
abstract: In both liver and plasma from rats, hamsters, guinea pigs and monkeys, the correlation coefficients between percentage composition of arachidonic acid and the total triacylglycerol varied from -0.43 to -0.81 (P less than 0.01). No such relationship was present between percentage compositions of any of the essential fatty acids in phospholipids and total phospholipids.
