Elongation and desaturation of fatty acids are critical in growth, lipid metabolism and ontogeny of Caenorhabditis elegans.

Journal of biochemistry - 1 Aug 2008

Abstract excerpt

Recently, it was reported that a deficit in the mouse stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 gene decreases biosynthesis and accumulation of fatty acid and revitalizes the beta-oxidation of fatty acid. To examine the physiological role of fatty acid desaturase (FAT) and elongase (ELO)-gene transduction in ont...
