ABSTRACT
We previously showed changes in protein and carbohydrate selection in response to qualitative differences in dietary fat. Alterations in macronutrient selection were specifically related to changes in dietary saturated fat, but not to relative or absolute differences in dietary essential fatty acids. Three experiments were conducted to determine if changes in specific fatty acids in bulk phase neural membranes were associated with differences in macronutrient selection. For each experiment, specific fatty acid profiles were achieved by blending dietary fat sources. Rats consumed 20% (w/w) fat diets varying only in their fatty acid composition. After 2 weeks, rats were challenged with a selection paradigm. Each experiment showed a significant effect of dietary fat on neural membrane fatty acid composition (p less than 0.05) and alterations in individual fatty acids were correlated with changes in dietary fatty acids (p less than 0.05). However, dietary fat had no consistent effect with respect to which particular neural membrane fatty acids were modified, and there was no correlation between changes in specific membrane fatty acids and macronutrient selection. These findings suggest that alteration of specific fatty acids in bulk phase neural membranes do not mediate macronutrient selection behavior.
