1 BACKGROUND: Blood and tissue long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acid (LC-PUFA) amounts, which have been associated with early development and lifelong health, depend on dietary intake and endogenous conversion of precursor fatty acids (FAs) by the enzymes Delta5-desaturase and Delta6-desaturase. Fatty Acids fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens
