Abstract:
Desaturase (FADS2) is the rate-limiting step in the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) biosynthetic pathway.
Very-long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) pools originate from the diet and endogenously from elongation and desaturation of their dietary precursors,
-linolenic acid (n-3) and linoleic acid (n-6).
