The fatty acid composition of total lipids and total phospholipids of maxillae and mandibles of rats fed an essential fatty acid-deficient (EFAD), marginally FAD (MEFAD), and a control diet was determined. Patterns typical of an EFA deficiency such as a decrease in the levels of linoleic acid and ar
Dietary zinc deficiency has been shown to decrease the in vivo incor. poration of thymidine into the nuclear DNA of liver parenchymal cells in the rat. A single injection of 100 pg of zinc was sufficient to rapidly reverse the effect of zinc deficiency on the synthesis of DNA.
The developmental profile of fatty acid elongation enzymes of rat brain microsomes and mitochondria and the consequences of pyridoxine deficiency have been investigated. The results suggest that a single enzyme system is responsible for elongation of the various fatty acids by mitochondria whereas t
