Abstract
Changes in the hepatic concentration of n-3 fatty acids, e.g., eicosap entaenoic acid and linolenic acid, were significantly reduced by their simultaneous administration with sesamin, whereas there was no such e ffect of sesamin for n-6 and n-9 fatty acids. However, there was no si gnificant difference in lymphatic absorption between eicosapentaenoic acid (n-3) and arachidonic acid (n-6), irrespective of the presence or absence of sesamin.
