The oxidation, esterification and formation of chain elongated and desaturated products of [1-14C]5,8,11-eicosatrienoic (Mead) acid was studied. Liver cells from essentially fatty acid deficient (EFAD) and control rats were used. The metabolism of [1-14C]20:4, n-6 and [1-14C]20:5, n-3 were studied under the same experimental conditions. More 20:3, n-9 than 20:4, n-6 and 20:5, n-3 was oxidised both in EFAD and control cells. 20:3, n-9 was elongated to [14C]22:3, n-9 in both cell types and significant amounts of [14C]22:4, n-9 were formed in EFAD cells. Less 20:3, n-9 was esterified in phospholipids and more in triacylglycerol than observed with 20:4, n-6 and 20:5, n-3 in both cell types. 20:3, n-9 was mainly esterified in phosphatidylcholine and little was esterified in phosphatidylethanolamine compared to 20:4, n-6 and 20:5, n-3. In comparison, 20:3, n-9 was rather efficiently esterified in phosphatidylinositol as 18:0-20:3. [14C]22:4, n-9 formed from 20:3, n-9 in EFAD hepatocytes was esterified in triacylglycerol, not in phospholipids, unlike [14C]22:5, n-6 and [14C]22:6, n-3 which were mainly esterified in phospholipids.
