Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and α-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish

Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and α-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish

Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids required for proper embryonic development, specifically neurodevelopment. However, little is known regarding their conversion to other metabolites during embryogenesis. The oxidation of ARA gives rise to the biol...
