A comparative analyses of lipid ratios representing desaturase enzyme activity between preterm and term infants within the first ten weeks of life
Abstract Background Desaturase enzymes play a key role in several pathways including biosynthesis of poly- and mono- unsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs, MUFA). In preterm infants, desaturase enzyme activity (DA) may be a rate-limiting step in maintaining PUFAs levels during this critical developmental w...
