title: [Alpha-linolenic acid and its metabolic derivatives in the tissues of rats treated with CCl4].
abstract: The poly-unsaturated fatty acids of w-3 series were studied in the tissues of rats injected with CCl4 and also the effect of the alpha-linolenic acid added to the diet. Gascromathographic technique of fatty acids was applied on samples of liver, muscle, lungs, pancreas and adipose tissue. CCl4 was seen to increase in the liver and in the muscle the docosahexaenoic acid; the dietetic alpha-linolenic acid inhibits, in muscle, lungs and pancreas, the conversion of linoleic in arachidonic acid.
