Dietary n-3 PUFA deprivation for 15 weeks upregulates elongase and desaturase expression in rat liver but not brain
Fifteen weeks of dietary n-3 PUFA deprivation increases coefficients of conversion of circulating α-linolenic acid (α-LNA; 18:3n-3) to docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6n-3) in rat liver but not brain. To determine whether these increases reflect organ differences in enzymatic activities, we examined b...
