Abstract excerpt
Essential fatty acid (EFA) incorporation into phospholipid is influenced by chloride channels, suggesting that the cystic fibrosis (CF) transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) may regulate aspects of EFA metabolism. The objective of this study was to determine whether the DeltaF508 mutation in the CFTR lowers 18:2(n-6) levels in phospholipid. Control cells, CF cells and CF cells transfected with the "normal"...
