| Abstract: | The fatty acid composition of rat photoreceptor membranes was altered by dietary manipulation. A functional alteration was also observed in the component of the electroretinogram which is generated by the photoreceptors. A membrane fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid, appears to be involved in the transduction process of visual excitation. |
