TI  - Different fatty acid composition in central and peripheral adipose tissues of the 
      American mink (Mustela vison).
PG  - 903-10
AB  - Fatty acid (FA) composition in the intraabdominal (IAB), subcutaneous (SC) and 
      peripheral adipose tissues of the semiaquatic American mink (Mustela vison) was 
      examined in comparison to the diet by gas-liquid chromatography. There was a 
      clear compositional gradient from the IAB via SC to peripheral adipose tissues 
      and the anatomically different adipose tissues accumulated or metabolized FA 
      selectively. The total lipids of the body appendages had smaller proportions of 
      saturated (SFA) and larger proportions of monounsaturated (MUFA) and 
      polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) than the lipids of the trunk adipose tissues. 
      Especially n-3 PUFA were enriched in the periphery. The appendages were also 
      characterized with a high ratio of unsaturated FA to SFA, an increased 
      Delta9-desaturation index and increased mean numbers of double bonds and carbon 
      atoms in a FA molecule. The proportions of SFA and MUFA of the diet resembled the 
      trunk adipose tissues while the dietary percentage of n-3 PUFA surpassed those of 
      the trunk fat depots but was lower than those of the peripheral fats. These data 
      confirm that the FA signatures of mammals reflect not only their dietary history 
      but also metabolic modifications of ingested FA.
