This study was conducted to examine the mechanism for arachidonic acid (AA) regulation of
steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein expression and the relationship between AA …

The control of steroidogenesis via signal transduction mechanisms involving cAMP-
dependent and cAMP-independent mechanisms is reviewed. Several structurally unrelated …

Abstract Background Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have demonstrated significant
therapeutic potential across a wide range of disease. The aim of this study was to investigate …
