Abstract

Human liver homogenates were incubated with either [1-14C] linoleic or [2-14C] dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid comparatively. It appeared that only dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid could be desaturated in our experimental conditions. However, the desaturating activity was lower than that in Rat liver homogenates. These results are discussed here, and compared to those obtained in other laboratories.
