example 1

[0057] The difference in bioavailability and bioefficacy between the marine lipid composition of the present invention and a fish oil were investigated in a rat experiment. The rat feed was prepared using AIN-93 except that soybean oil was removed from the feed. The pelleted AIN-93 diet was ground and the marine lipid compositions (PL 1 and PL 2) as well as fish oil (TG oil) and control were added to this ground feed. The marine lipid compositions were prepared using enzymatic (lipase) catalyzed transesterification of soy lecithin with fish oil fatty acids according to the method described in Example 4, followed by the addition of a triglyceride carrier and short path distillation. The concentration of EPA, DHA and 18:3 n-3 in the different diets can be seen in the table below (table 1).

[0059] The total fatty acid profile for the lipids in the brains (table 2), adipose tissue (table 3), liver (table 4), testicles (table 5) and heart (table 6) were isolated from the rats in example 1. The PL 1 composition increases the DHA content in brain and adipose tissue more than the TG composition. The PL 1 composition increase the EPA content in the adipose tissue more than the TG composition. It is to be observed that the PL1 composition increases the EPA / DHA content in the phospholipids and in the total lipids of the different tissues as well as reduces the AA / EPA ratio more than the TG oil composition.
