Abnormal polyunsaturated lipid metabolism in the obese Zucker rat, with partial metabolic correction by gamma-linolenic acid administration.

Metabolism: clinical and experimental - 1 Sept 1993

Abstract excerpt

Below-normal proportions of phospholipid (PL) arachidonic acid (20:4 omega 6) have been reported in serum from obese humans and in liver from obese Zucker rats. This implies an abnormality of 20:4 omega 6 formation from linoleic acid (18:2 omega 6), possibly in the delta 6 desaturase step, or alt...
