Desaturase Genes And Their Use (Patent WO 1999/027111 A1) [PDF]

, 1999
cDNA encoding C. elegans DELTA desaturase has been cloned and sequenced, and the DELTA desaturase amino acid sequence has been determined. The C. elegans DELTA desaturase has a surprisingly low level of sequence identity with the known borage DELTA ...

Calculated Desaturase and Elongase Activity Indices.

, 2019
Product/precursor ratio of the percentages of individual FAs represent desaturase and elongase activity indices: (A) C16:1n-7/C16:0 = Δ9-desaturase (D9D16), (B) C18:1n-9/C18:0 = Δ9-desaturase (D9D18), (C) 18:3n-6/C18:2n-6 = Δ6-desaturase (D6D), (D) C20 ...

MicroRNA‐Seq Analysis Reveals a Critical Role for miR‐222 in Bovine Intramuscular Adipogenesis via the DDIT4/mTORC1 Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Schematic diagram illustrating how miR‐222 promotes bovine intramuscular adipogenesis by targeting DDIT4 to activate the mTORC1 signaling pathway. ABSTRACT Intramuscular fat (IMF) is a key determinant of beef quality, particularly with respect to tenderness, flavor, and juiciness.

Associations between estimated fatty acid desaturase activities in serum lipids and adipose tissue in humans: links to obesity and insulin resistance

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2009
Fatty acid composition of serum lipids and adipose tissue triacylglycerols (AT-TAG) partly reflect dietary fatty acid intake. The fatty acid composition is, besides the diet, also influenced by desaturating enzymes that can be estimated using product-to ...

Enhancing Meat Quality Through Dietary Fiber: Insights Into the Gut Microbiota‐Derived Short‐Chain Fatty Acids‐Muscle Axis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Dietary fiber (DF) modulates meat quality through the gut‐muscle axis by reshaping gut microbiota, improving intestinal integrity, reducing inflammation, and regulating muscle metabolism. These mechanisms influence muscle fiber characteristics and post‐mortem biochemistry, thereby enhancing tenderness, juiciness, color, flavor, and nutritional value of

Influence of dietary cholesterol and stress on the metabolism of linoleic acid: 6-desaturase activity vs. product precursor ratios

, 2020
Δ6-desaturase is a membrane bound enzyme located in a pivotal position within the Essential Fatty Acid metabolic pathway. Changes in the activity of Δ6-desaturase affect the cellular provision of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids and therefore ...

Insulin resistance overrides FADS3 genetic variation in determining omega-6 desaturase activity in early type 2 diabetes

Advances in Redox Research
Background: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is characterized by alterations in polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) metabolism that is dominantly regulated by desaturase enzymes.

Adipose tissue stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 index is increased and linoleic acid is decreased in obesity-prone rats fed a high-fat diet

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2013
Background Fatty acid (FA) composition and desaturase indices are associated with obesity and related metabolic conditions. However, it is unclear to what extent desaturase activity in different lipid fractions contribute to obesity susceptibility.

Alternation of plasma fatty acids composition and desaturase activities in children with liver steatosis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The aim of this study was to investigate changes in plasma fatty acids proportions and estimated desaturase activities for variable grading of liver steatosis in children.In total, 111 schoolchildren (aged 8-18 years) were included in the analysis from ...
