Filtering by: Subject Lipoxygenases -- Physiological effect

Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and alpha-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish, Embryogenesis is dependent upon 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, and α-tocopherol to modulate polyunsaturated fatty acid status and the production of oxidized fatty acids in zebrafish

Abstract:

Arachidonic acid (ARA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are polyunsaturated fatty acids required for proper embryonic development, specifically neurodevelopment. However, little is known regarding their conversion to other metabolites during embryogenesis. The oxidation of ARA gives rise to the biologically active eicosanoids and the oxidation of DHA gives rise to the...
