Figure 1 Diagram of compartmental model for 18:2n-6
metabolism. Open circles represent plasma and gastrointestinal (GI)
compartments for the n-6 fatty acids. L(j) values represent kinetic
constants that were determined from the model calculations.
L0,j values indicate loss of isotope from the pathway.
In the boxed area are the differential equations which pertain to
appearance and disappearance of isotope in the various
compartments.

metabolism. Open circles represent plasma and gastrointestinal (GI)
compartments for the n-6 fatty acids. L(j) values represent kinetic
constants that were determined from the model calculations. In the
boxed area are the differential equations which pertain to
appearance and disappearance of isotope in the various
