The efects were studied of the quality and amount of dietary fat on the pattern of fatty acids in the lipids of the serum and certain tissues (adipose fat, perirenal fat, liver, heart, testes) of guined pigs during experimentally induced hypercholesterolemia. During 12 weeks the animals received experimental diets containg 10% or 20% of energy from animal fats (butter, lard 2:3), sunflower oil or low-erucic rapeseed oil. Two control groups were chosen, receiving diets for animals without cholesterol or with 0.1% cholesterol added. The addition of cholesterol to the diet raised the content of the essential unsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids in the adipose fat and hepatic lipids, and decreased their content in myocardial lipids. In testicular lipids changes were noted in the synthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The addition of vegetable fats to the diet increased the content of linoleic acid in these tissues with a simultaneous decrease of arachidonic acid synthesis. It may be supposed that there is an upper range of arachidonic acid synthesis in the lipids of the studied tissues independent of dietary EFA and PUFA value.
