Microsomal fatty acid desaturase activities in vitamin A-deficient rat liver |
|
| Authors: | S Q Alam B S Alam |
| Abstract: | The activity of microsomal fatty acid delta 9-desaturase was significantly higher in liver microsomes of vitamin A-deficient rats as compared with their controls. Feeding of vitamin A-supplemented control diet to the deficient rats restored the delta 9-desaturase activity to the control values. The activity of delta 6-desaturase was not affected by vitamin A deficiency. |
