A mechanism accounting for the low cellular level of linoleic acid in cystic fibrosis and its reversal by DHA*

Specific fatty acid alterations have been described in the blood and tissues of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. The principal alterations include decreased levels of linoleic acid (LA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). We investigated the potential mechanisms of these alterations by studying the cellul...
