Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency: Effects on Prostaglandin Synthesis and Immune Response
Essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency is known to alter prostaglandin (PG) synthesis and immune response in several species. These experiments were designed to investigate PG production and the immune response of EFA-deficient Lewis rats and A/J mice.

Zinc and essential fatty acid status and supplementation in cystic fibrosis patients
… for the patient is not yet known. Zinc and essential fatty acids mutually influence each other and are important in inflammation and immunity. Chapter 2 summarises the research objectives. In chapter 3 we focus on the zinc status, first by means of the serum zinc concentration. The normal …

Essential Fatty Acid Biosynthetic Enzymes of Escherichia Coli and Lactococcus Lactis Subsp. Lactis
FabG, beta-ketoacyl-ACP reductase, performs the NADPH-dependent reduction of beta-ketoacyl-ACP substrates to the beta-hydroxyacyl-ACP products. I report the first characterized fabG mutants. By chemical mutagenesis followed by a tritium suicide procedure, I obtained three conditionally-lethal …

Molecular Analysis of the Essential Fatty Acid Biosynthetic Gene Cluster of Escherichia Coli
The genes encoding ACP and several key fatty acid biosynthetic enzymes are clustered at min 24 of the E. coli chromosome in the order of plsX, fabH, fabD, fabG, acpP, and fabF. I demonstrated that this cluster of genes was transcribed as a non-conventional operon. Multiple promoters were present …

The production of Y-linolenic acid by Choanephora curcubitarum
Gamma linolenic acid (GLA) is an essential fatty acid which has been shown to be beneficial for a large number of diseases. At present the fatty acid is marketed as a health product and the prime source of GLA is the evening primrose flower. There are several problems associated with producing the …

Studies on the Possible Regulatory Function of Dietary Alpha-Linolenic Acid in Prostaglandin Synthesis by Immunocompetent Cells
… to predominate in certain tissues. The role of essential fatty acid (EFA), and therefore of PGs, in cell-mediated immunity has increasingly become of interest. Prostaglandins have been implicated in many areas of the immune response. Three studies were conducted examining both in vivo and in …

Causes and consequences of soil carbon mobilization and lake brownification in northern forested landscapes
… due to cyanobacteria having a lower content of essential fatty acids. The decline in phytoplankton quality did not impact the essential fatty acid content of primary consumers, but it shifted their reliance from essential fatty acids transferred from phytoplankton, to essential fatty acids …

Insect meals as novel protein sources in retorted pet food for adult cats
… the 3 selected insect meals evaluated, oleic acid (113,352-46,353 ug/g), palmitic acid (62,580-19,104 ug/g), linoleic acid (46,265-13,926 ug/g), and stearic acid (21,654-6,473 ug/g) were the most prevalent fatty acids. Branched-chain amino acids and arginine were the most preponderant …

Ecology and physiology of free ranging black-tailed and Utah prairie dogs
… prairie dogs do not have a clear pattern of essential fatty acid metabolism during winter, whereas Utah prairie dogs appeared to preferentially metabolize lipid in a manner that promotes deep and continuous torpor. Both black-tailed and Utah prairie dogs exercise strong dietary selection, and …
