Differential responses to fasting and subsequent feeding by microsomal systems of rat liver: 6- and 9-desaturation of fatty acids
Hepatic microsomal preparations from nonfasted, fasted, and fasted-fed rats were employed, together with cofactors, in studies of 9-desaturation of stearate-1-14C and 6-desaturation of linolenate-1-14C. Prior fasting sharply reduced 9-desaturation but did not affect 6-desaturation; feeding restored...
