Linoleic acid is the main dietary essential fatty acid (EFA). To be fully utilized by the body, it must be metabolized to a range of other substances. The first step in this pathway is delta-6-desaturation to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). This step is

Evidence has shown that dietary supplementation with virgin olive oil (OLO) lowers plasma cholesterol (CH) level. The present study demonstrated in animals that OLO supplementation also suppresses the conversion of 20:3n-6 to 20:4n-6 (Δ 5 desaturati

Senescence is associated with a decreased activity of enzyme delta-6 desaturase, which converts linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid. This enzymatic defect may alter the composition of plasma and membrane lipids, and influences the biosynthesis of r
