Abstract excerpt
Cellular energy metabolism is largely sustained by mitochondrial beta-oxidation of saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. To study the role of unsaturated fatty acids in cellular lipid and energy metabolism we generated a null allelic mouse, deficient in 3,2-trans-enoyl-CoA isomerase (ECI) (eci(-/-) mouse). ECI is the link in mitochondrial beta-oxidation of unsaturated and saturated fatty acids and essential for...
