N–3 fatty acid deficiency in the rat pineal gland: effects on phospholipid molecular species composition and endogenous levels of melatonin and lipoxygenase products
N–3 essential fatty acid deficiency affects a number of biological and physiological processes. In this study, we investigated the effect of n–3 essential fatty acid status on two key pineal biochemical functions, melatonin production and lipoxygenation, using pineal glands from rats given an n–3-ad...
