It is estimated that> 90% of Americans do not consume sufficient dietary vitamin E, as α-
tocopherol, to meet estimated average requirements. What are the adverse consequences …

n-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are essential fatty acids that are provided
by dietary intake. Growing evidence suggests that n-3 and n-6 PUFAs are paramount for …

Fatty acids play an important role in controlling the energy balance of mammals. De novo
lipogenesis also generates a significant amount of lipids that are endogenously produced in …

Disturbances of lipid metabolism are a major problem in livestock fish and the present study
analysed the different tissue expression patterns and regulations of 40 lipid-relevant genes …

Elongation of very long-chain fatty acid (Elovl) proteins are key enzymes that catalyze the
rate-limiting step in the fatty acid elongation pathway. The most recently discovered member …

Human genes encoding passive transporters, ion-coupled transporters, and exchangers are
all included in the so-called SoLute Carrier (SLC) gene series (the Human Genome …

Environmental concentrations of pharmacologically active substances are increasing
dramatically throughout the world, to the point where they are now considered a serious …

Copper (Cu) is an essential trace element, playing an important role in lipid metabolism, and
its transporters ATP7A and ATP7B, as Cu-transporting P-type ATPases, are involved in …

Abstract α-Tocopherol is a lipid-soluble antioxidant that is specifically required for
reproduction and embryogenesis. However, since its discovery, α-tocopherol's specific …

Abstract Effects of diet and ontogeny on the expression of fatty acid desaturases and
elongases were examined in broiler chickens. In Study 1, 120 day-old male chicks received …
