Abstract
Background Previous work showed that the functional cardiac effect of dietary alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) in rats requires a long feeding period (6 months), although a docosahexaenoic (DHA) acid-supply affects cardiac adrenergic response after 2 months. However, the total cardiac membrane n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition remained unchanged after 2 months. This delay could be due to a specific reorganization of the different subcellular membrane PUFA profiles. This study was designed to investigate the evolution between 2 and 6 months of diet duration of the fatty acid profile in sarcolemmal (SL), mitochondrial (MI), nuclear (NU) and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane fractions.
Highlights
A mistake has been noted in our recently published (25 March 2009) article [1]. This error appeared in the material and methods section, and concerns the content of Table 1
An overlapping of the lines has occurred in the fatty acid profile section of the Table, due to an unfortunate insertion of the 22:2 n-6, a fatty acid that has nothing to do there

Summary
An overlapping of the lines has occurred in the fatty acid profile section of the Table, due to an unfortunate insertion of the 22:2 n-6, a fatty acid that has nothing to do there.
