Δ6- and Δ5-desaturase activities in the human fetal liver: kinetic aspects

Δ6- and Δ5-desaturase activities were studied in human fetal liver microsomes obtained after legally approved therapeutic abortion. Enzyme activities were measured by a radiochemical method using reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Free and phospholipid fatty acids were asse...
