Conversion of eicosapentaenoic acid to chain-shortened omega–3 fatty acid metabolites by peroxisomal oxidation1
Human skin fibroblasts can convert arachidonic acid to 14- and 16-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acid products by peroxisomal β-oxidation. The purpose of this study was to determine whether similar products are formed from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and whether EPA and arachidonic acid compete for ut...
