Muscle tissue of the queen crab, Chionoecetes opilio, contained 0.75% lipid, 78.8% of which was phospholipid (chiefly choline phosphatides) and the balance mainly cholesterol. Viscera contained 13.6% lipid, the bulk of which was triglyceride. Fatty acid composition was generally similar to that of other marine species. However, 20:5ω3 was the major polyunsaturate (rather than the more usual 22:6ω3) and within the 18:1 series, the ω7 isomer was present in unusually large quantities.

Abstract The fatty acid composition in the lipids of six coccoid microalgae species (≈ 2 μm in diameter) was investigated. In addition to analyses of ultrastructure and pigment content, lipid composition is shown to be a chemotaxonomic tool in the classification of algae. The four species of Chiorococcales (Chlorophyceae) - the marine species as well as the fresh water species, both kept in artificial seawater - contain a fatty acid composition resembling that of Chlorella spp. and of green leaves of higher plants. The fatty acid pattern is characterized as lacking in C20 acids but containing large amounts of C 16 and C 18 polyunsaturated fatty acids, hexadecatrienic acid (16 :3) and a-linolenic acid (18:3ω3) in particular. In contrast the two species of Eustigmatales (Eustigmatophyceae) investigated here show a deficiency of the C 16 and C 18 polyunsaturated fatty acids but contain large amounts of eicosapentaenic acid (20:5).

The component fatty acids of the muscle, liver, and viscera lipids from the squid, Illex illecebrosus (Le Sueur), caught in Newfoundland waters have been determined by gas–liquid chromatography (GLC). Silicic acid chromatography was used to segregate the main groups of lipids and the fatty acid composition of each fraction was determined on two organosilicone polyester columns.The lipids from the muscle consisted mainly of phospholipids with three fatty acids, palmitic (16:0), eicosapentaenoic (20:5), and docosahexaneoic (22:6) acids making up 80% of the total. The liver contained mainly triglycerides with a fatty acid composition similar to liver oils in other marine species.

SummaryPlatelet aggregation and its relation to fatty acid composition of platelets, plasma and adipose tissue was determined in 196 randomly selected, free-living, 40-49-year-old men in two regions of Finland (east and southwest) with a nearly twofold difference in the IHD rate.There were no significant east-southwest differences in platelet aggregation induced with ADP, thrombin or epinephrine. ADP-induced platelet secondary aggregation showed significant negative associations with all C20-C22 ω3-fatty acids in platelets (r = -0.26 - -0.40) and with the platelet 20: 5ω3/20: 4ω 6 and ω3/ ω6 ratios, but significant positive correlations with the contents of 18:2 in adipose tissue (r = 0.20) and plasma triglycerides (TG) (r = 0.29). Epinephrine-induced aggregation correlated negatively with 20: 5ω 3 in plasma cholesteryl esters (CE) (r = -0.23) and TG (r = -0.29), and positively with the total percentage of saturated fatty acids in platelets (r = 0.33), but had no significant correlations with any of the ω6-fatty acids. Thrombin-induced aggregation correlated negatively with the ω3/6ω ratio in adipose tissue (r = -0.25) and the 20: 3ω6/20: 4ω 6 ratio in plasma CE (r = -0.27) and free fatty acids (FFA) (r = -0.23), and positively with adipose tissue 18:2 (r = 0.23) and 20:4ω6 (r = 0.22) in plasma phospholipids (PL).The percentages of prostanoid precursors in platelet lipids, i. e. 20: 3ω 6, 20: 4ω 6 and 20 :5ω 3, correlated best with the same fatty acids in plasma CE (r = 0.32 - 0.77) and PL (r = 0.28 - 0.74). Platelet 20: 5ω 3 had highly significant negative correlations with the percentage of 18:2 in adipose tissue and all plasma lipid fractions (r = -0.35 - -0.44).These results suggest that, among a free-living population, relatively small changes in the fatty acid composition of plasma and platelets may be reflected in significant differences in platelet aggregation, and that an increase in linoleate-rich vegetable fat in the diet may not affect platelet function favourably unless it is accompanied by an adequate supply of ω3 fatty acids.
