Intestinal DHA-PA-PG axis promotes digestive organ expansion by mediating usage of maternally deposited yolk lipids

Abstract Although the metabolism of yolk lipids such as docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is pivotal for embryonic development, the underlying mechanism remains elusive. Here we find that the zebrafish hydroxysteroid (17-β) dehydrogenase 12a (hsd17b12a), which encodes an intestinal epithelial-specific enzy...
