Expression of genes and localization of enzymes involved in polyunsaturated fatty acid synthesis in rabbit testis and epididymis

Scientific Reports, 2022
The metabolism of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) plays an important role in male reproduction. Linoleic and alpha-linolenic acids need to be provided in the diet and they are converted into long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids by steps of ...

Biochemical characterization of the very long-chain fatty acid elongase ELOVL7 [PDF]

FEBS Letters, 2011
Very long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) have a variety of physiological functions and are related to numerous disorders. The key step of VLCFA elongation is catalyzed by members of the elongase family, ELOVLs. Mammals have seven ELOVLs (ELOVL1-7), yet none of them has been purified and analyzed.

Molecular and functional characterisation of two elovl4 elongases involved in the biosynthesis of very long-chain (>C24) polyunsaturated fatty acids in black seabream Acanthopagrus schlegelii [PDF]

, 2017
Elongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) 4 proteins are important fatty acyl elongases that participate in the biosynthesis of long-chain (C20-24) and very long-chain (˃C24) polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA and VLC-PUFA, respectively) in ...

Altered desaturation and elongation of fatty acids in hormone-sensitive lipase null mice. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BACKGROUND: Hormone-sensitive lipase (HSL) is expressed predominantly in adipose tissue, where it plays an important role in catecholamine-stimulated hydrolysis of stored lipids, thus mobilizing fatty acids.

Generating Pennycress (Thlaspi arvense) Seed Triacylglycerols and Acetyl-Triacylglycerols Containing Medium-Chain Fatty Acids

Frontiers in Energy Research, 2021
Thlaspi arvense L. (pennycress) is a cold-tolerant Brassicaceae that produces large amounts of seeds rich in triacylglycerols and protein, making it an attractive target for domestication into an offseason oilseed cash cover crop.

Protein–protein interactions in fatty acid elongase complexes are important for very-long-chain fatty acid synthesis

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2021
Abstract Fatty acid elongase (FAE), which catalyzes the synthesis of very-long-chain fatty acids (VLCFAs), is a multiprotein complex; however, little is known about its quaternary structure. In this study, bimolecular fluorescence complementation and/or yeast two-hybrid assays showed that homo-interactions were observed in β-ketoacyl-CoA

Stage‐Specific H3K14 and H3K23 Succinylation Orchestrates Insect Metamorphosis and Oogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Stage‐specific succinylation of histone H3 at lysine 14 and 23 differentially controls insect metamorphosis and oogenesis through distinct GPCR‐PKC signaling cascades, revealing an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mechanism that coordinates key life‐history traits.

Higher Increases in Plasma n‐3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids Following Fish Oil Supplementation in Postmenopausal Females Compared With Age‐Matched Males

Lipids, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The effects of fish oil supplementation on omega‐3 (n‐3) polyunsaturated fatty acids, particularly intermediates between eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n‐3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n‐3), that may provide valuable metabolic information, have not been fully characterized in older populations.
