Effect of seafood mediated PCB exposure on desaturase activity and PUFA profile in Faroese septuagenarians. [PDF]
Environ Res, 2015 Polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) exposure may affect serum concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) by inhibiting desaturases ∆5 and ∆6 that drive their synthesis from precursor fatty acids.

The desaturase gene family : an evolutionary study of putative speciation genes in 12 species of Drosophila [PDF]
, 2012 The formation and persistence of species are the subject of much debate among biologists. Many species of Drosophila are behaviourally isolated, meaning that heterospecific individuals are not attracted to one another and do not interbreed.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2009 The mammalian Δ6-desaturase coded by fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2; HSA11q12-q13.1) catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step for the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids.

A vertebrate fatty acid desaturase with delta5 and delta6 activities [PDF]
, 2001 Δ5 and Δ6 fatty acid desaturases are critical enzymes in the pathways for the biosynthesis of the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) arachidonic, eicosapentanoic and docosahexanoic acids.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1975 The present work was undertaken to study the effect of anti-insulinic and glycogenolytic factors on the oxidative desaturation of fatty acids. The effects of glucagon and dibutyryl cyclic AMP on the desaturation of linoleic acid to γ-linolenic acid, α ...

SCD (stearoyl-CoA desaturase (delta-9-desaturase)) [PDF]
, 2016 Despite the presence of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) in the usual diet, these fatty acids may also be synthesized de novo from saturated fatty acids (SFA) through enzymatic desaturase activity (Arregui et al., 2012).

Cell density-dependent reduction of dihydroceramide desaturase activity in neuroblastoma cells
Journal of Lipid Research, 2012 We applied a metabolic approach to investigate the role of sphingolipids in cell density-induced growth arrest in neuroblastoma cells. Our data revealed that sphingolipid metabolism in neuroblastoma cells significantly differs depending on the cells ...

Journal of Lipid Research, 2003 The rate-limiting step in 20:4(n-6) and 22:6(n-3) synthesis is the desaturation of 18:2(n-6) and 18:3(n-3) by Δ-6 desaturase. In this report, we demonstrate that n-6 and n-3 PUFAs suppressed the hepatic expression of rodent Δ-6 desaturase by inhibiting ...

Nutritional regulation of stearoyl-CoA desaturase in the bovine mammary gland [PDF]
, 2011 Increasing the proportion of unsaturated fatty acids (UFA) in milk is believed to be beneficial in terms of human health, thereby increasing the nutritional quality of milk.
