Effect of epinephrine on the oxidative desaturation of fatty acids in the rat

The effect of epinephrine on the oxidative desaturation of fatty acids by liver microsomal preparations of rats has been studied. Administration of epinephrine (1 mg/kg body weight) produced a significant decrease in desaturation of [1-14C]=linoleic acid to γ-linolenic acid and of [1-14C]α-linolenic...
