The presence of a significant amount of 9,11-conjugated linoleic acid (CLA, 9,11-18:2) was confirmed in the liver and plasma lipids of rats fed a 1% (w/w % of diet) eleostearic acid (ESA, 9,11,13-18:3) diet for 4 wk. The chemical structure of the 9,11-CLA apparent in the tissue lipids was identified by gas chromatography-electron impact mass spectrometry after its conversion to a 4,4-dimethyloxazoline derivative. The concentration of CLA in the total fatty acids of the liver and plasma lipids reached to about 1%, for each in the CLA-supplemented rats, while reaching 3.2% and 2.5%, respectively, in the ESA-supplemented rats. The results suggest that alpha-ESA is metabolized partially to CLA via a delta 13-saturation reaction in the rat. Some biological activities observed in alpha-ESA-fed animals may be ascribed also to CLA that is formed from ESA in the body.
