“Glucagon, dibutyryl cyclic AMP, and epinephrine decreased the oxidative desaturation of linoleic acid to γ-linolenic acid while the elongating reaction was not modified in the experimental conditions tested.”
“As the epinephrine dose increased the linoleic acid content of the hepatic phospholipids increased and the arachidonic acid decreased at 96 h after hepatectomy.”
“ Epinephrine administration modified the V max of linoleic acid desaturation but not the K m. There was also a slight increase in palmityl desaturation activity.”
