Choosing foods to balance competing n-3 and n-6 HUFA and their actions
Many enzymes metabolizing essential fatty acids (EFA) do not discriminate much between the n-3 and n-6 structures. Thus, relative abundances of competing n-3 and n-6 acids influence relative rates of reaction during hydrolysis, activation, elongation, desaturation and acyl transfer that control the...
