Oxidative desaturation of eicosa-8,11-dienoic acid to eicosa-5,8,11-trienoic acid: comparison of different diets on oxidative desaturation at the 5,6 and 6,7 positions

The oxidative desaturation of [1-14C]eicosa-8,11-dienoic acid to eicosa-5,8,11-trienoic acid by rat liver microsomes was studied, and the kinetic conditions appropriate to measure the specific activity of the enzyme were determined. A comparative study of the effects of a balanced diet and essential...
