Understanding the biochemical basis of temperature induced lipid pathway adjustments in plants
… in membrane lipids include alterations in fatty acid desaturation, proportional changes in membrane lipids as well as molecular composition of each lipid species. In this study, I systematically explored the significance of glycerolipid pathway balance in temperature induced lipid …

THE ROLE OF BOTANICAL OILS ENRICHED IN FADS2-DERIVED N-3 VS. N-6 POLYUNSATURATED FATTY ACIDS IN PREVENTION OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
Background: Dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) reduce atherosclerosis in animal models and humans relative to dietary saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids. Although some of the atheroprotection of dietary PUFAs is due to plasma lipid lowering, in vivo conversion of 18 carbon PUFAs …

THE ROLE OF NRF2 IN PREVENTING OXIDATIVE/ELECTROPHILIC STRESS-INDUCED LIVER INJURY
… the majority are involved in lipid synthesis and fatty-acid desaturation. Thus, Nrf2 promotes generation of NADPH, and reduces fatty acid synthesis and desaturation, contributing factors towards protecting liver against environmental oxidative/electrophilic stress. The mRNA abundance of 124 drug …

Influence of Loss of Function of the Fatty Acid Desaturase 7 Gene on Photosynthetic Activity and Foliar Redox Status
<p>Fatty Acid Desaturase7 (FAD7) is a chloroplast-localized enzyme that converts 16 and 18 carbon dienoic fatty acids to trienoic fatty acids. The suppressor of prosystemin-mediated response2 (spr2) mutant in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and the fad7-1 mutant in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) …
