Metabolism of fatty acids in tissues and organs of the ruminants - a review
Journal Title: Animal Science Papers and Reports - Year 2016, Vol 34, Issue 3
Abstract
Fatty acid metabolism in the rumen is a meaningful, but not the only variation factor of fatty acid profile in milk and meat of the ruminants. Lipids absorbed in the small intestine are transported by lipoproteins to different tissues and organs of an animal, where they are subjected to metabolic modifications. Thus, despite the fact that ruminants absorb mainly long-chain saturated fatty acids, some specific isomers are present in milk and meat, whereas they are absent in the feeds. The impact of many of them on human health is not yet completely understood, but some have proven health-promoting effects in the prevention of lifestyle diseases, therefore are desirable in the food from the point of view of conscious consumer.
