From low to high latitudes: changes in fatty acid desaturation in mammalian fat tissue suggest a thermoregulatory role
Abstract Background Most fatty acids (FAs) making up the adipose tissue in mammals have a dietary origin and suffer little modification when they are stored. However, we propose that some of those FAs, specifically those that can be synthesised or modified by mammals, are also being influenced by th...
