Tissue-specific, nutritional, and developmental regulation of rat fatty acid elongases

Tissue-specific, nutritional, and developmental regulation of rat fatty acid elongases

Of the six fatty acid elongase (Elovl) subtypes expressed in mammals, adult rat liver expresses four subtypes: Elovl-5 > Elovl-1 = Elovl-2 = Elovl-6. Overnight starvation and fish oil-enriched diets repressed hepatic elongase activity in livers of adult male rats. Diet-induced changes in elongase...
