The mammalian Delta6-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. FADS2 is known to act on at least five substrates, and we hypothesized that the

To investigate NADPH-oxidase activation, we studied the effects of free fatty acid (FFA), their uncharged derivatives, and calcium on membrane lipid structure and superoxide anion (O2-) release from intact neutrophils and in cell-free O2(-)-generating systems. This study determined that in

High intakes of linoleic acid (LA,18:2n-6) have raised concern due to possible increase in arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6) synthesis, and inhibition of alpha linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) desaturation to eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). In healthy men

The stoichiometry of the oxygenation reaction of cis,cis-eicosa-11,14-dienoic acid catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase and soybean lipoxygenase has been investigated by using steady-state initial rate measurements. The rate of product formation (conjugated diene hydroperoxy and hydroxy derivatives) was followed spectrophotometrically

Eicosadienoic acid (Δ11,14-20:2; EDA) is a rare, naturally occurring n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) found mainly in animal tissues. EDA is elongated from linoleic acid (LA), and can also be metabolized to dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA), arachidonic acid (AA), and sciadonic
