Abstract
In the present study, the effect of different lead supply (0, 200, 800 mug/kg diet) on the amounts of phospholipids in the liver of lactatin g rats and its fatty acid composition was investigated. The lead suppl y did not influence the amounts of the major phospholipid classes, but influenced the fatty acid composition of the phospholipids. Thus, the study shows that lead depletion affects the fatty acid metabolism in the liver of lactating rats.
