Investigating the potential of dietary iron supplementation to enhance long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in Hediste diversicolor [PDF]
Scientific ReportsFatty acyl desaturases are nutritionally regulated and depend on iron (Fe) for optimal activity. We hypothesised that dietary Fe supplementation, under conditions promoting desaturase upregulation, can enhance desaturase activity and improve n-3 LC-PUFA ...
