Effects of diets containing vegetable oil on expression of genes involved in highly unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in liver of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar).
2004-06-01
Abstract excerpt
Fish are an important dietary source of the long-chain C20 and C22 highly unsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), arachidonate (20:4n-6), eicosapentaenoate (20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoate (22:6n-3), which are crucial to the health of higher vertebrates and that can be beneficial in human diets. delta5 and delta6 fatty acid desaturases and fatty acid elongases are critical enzymes in the biosynthetic pathways of HUFA from s...
