Abstract:
Erucic and alpha-linolenic acids are probably related to a damage of muscle. The research was defined to the question if CCl4 that causes lesions in the tissue of the rat) damages also the muscle and if the dietary unsaturated fatty acids are effective in the prevention. The alpha-linolenic acid causes a strong reduction of the docosaesaenoic acid in the muscle, while the reduction of arachidonic acid is quite similar in all studied organs.
