Abstract

Trans-isomers of erucic acid (especially brassidic acid) do not incorporate in rat adipose tissue as well as erucic acid. Brassidic acid is partially converted into shorter trans-monoenes (mainly C18:1) since these acids have been identified in adipose tissue of rats fed brassidic acid as the only source of trans-fatty acid in the diet.
