1 In MCF7 cells, letrozole caused a dose dependent increase in FADS2-catalyzed DGLA synthesis, which plateaued in SK-N-SH cells. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens
2 CONCLUSION: Letrozole restores Delta6-desaturase mediated synthesis of the anti-inflammatory PGE1-precursor DGLA in vitro and is the first endocrine-active agent to have opposing effects on FADS1 and FADS2 catalyzed activities. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens
