Abstract
The activity of microsomal fatty acid delta 9-desaturase was significantly higher in liver microsomes of vitamin A-deficient rats as compared with their controls. Feeding of vitamin A-supplemented control diet to the deficient rats restored the delta 9-desaturase activity to the control values. The activity of delta 6-desaturase was not affected by vitamin A deficiency.Entities:
