Abstract
The polyunsaturated fatty acids in plasma, liver, and heart of chicks were determined at intervals during essential fatty acid deficiency. The marked decreases in dienoic and tetraenoic acids, and increase in trienoic, were partially corrected by feeding methyl linoleate. The evidence indicates that dienoic acid is converted to tetraenoic and pentaenoic acids, and possibly also to hexaenoic acid.
