ABSTRACT We report the stereospecific (sn-1, sn-2, sn-3) distribution of fatty acids in subcutaneous adipose tissue triacylglycerols of male weaned Wistar rats fed either a standard diet or diets containing, in addition to 20 g corn oil/kg feed, 120 g/kg feed, each, of canola-type rapeseed oil, olive oil, conventional or high oleic sunflower oil or high petroselinic coriander oil for 10 wk. The regiospecific distribution of the major acyl moieties in the sn-1 (3) vs. sn-2 positions of the adipose tissue triacylglycerols broadly reflected that of the dietary oils. The saturated palmitoyl and stearoyl moieties were more abundant in the sn-1 and sn-3 positions compared ...
