and HAM-D to negatively correlate with linoleic acid (LA) and positively correlate with fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) activity, an enzyme responsible for converting LA to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 43-70 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 266-289 22884424-5 2012 Most significantly, we found the levels of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) to positively correlate with neuroticism and HAM-D scores and negatively correlate with GAF scores; and HAM-D to negatively correlate with linoleic acid (LA) and positively correlate with fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) activity, an enzyme responsible for converting LA to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 43-70 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 291-296 22884424-5 2012 Most significantly, we found the levels of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) to positively correlate with neuroticism and HAM-D scores and negatively correlate with GAF scores; and HAM-D to negatively correlate with linoleic acid (LA) and positively correlate with fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) activity, an enzyme responsible for converting LA to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 72-76 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 266-289 22884424-5 2012 Most significantly, we found the levels of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA) to positively correlate with neuroticism and HAM-D scores and negatively correlate with GAF scores; and HAM-D to negatively correlate with linoleic acid (LA) and positively correlate with fatty acid desaturase 2 (FADS2) activity, an enzyme responsible for converting LA to gamma-linolenic acid (GLA). 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 72-76 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 291-296 33387849-8 2021 The D6D index was calculated as dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA 20: 3 n-6) / linoleic acid (18: 2 n - 6), and the D5D index was calculated as arachidonic acid (20: 4 n - 6) / DGLA (20: 3 n - 6). 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 32-59 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 4-7 31797636-7 2020 Seven SNPs were significant in association with dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, of which five were within fatty acid desaturases FADS1 and FADS2. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 48-75 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 136-141 17892040-14 2007 The gamma-linolenic acid supplementation in diet allows to omitt the inefficient delta6-desaturase system which has an effect in rising of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), arachidonic acid (AA) and their derivatives. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 139-166 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 81-98 17892040-14 2007 The gamma-linolenic acid supplementation in diet allows to omitt the inefficient delta6-desaturase system which has an effect in rising of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA), arachidonic acid (AA) and their derivatives. 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 168-172 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 81-98 11597788-5 2001 A increased Delta(6)-desaturase activity is postulated as the cause for the increased level of desaturate products or the increased Delta6-activity index (Ratio of gamma-linoleic acid+dihomogamma-linolenic acid to linoleic acid) (1.21 vs. 0.27; P<0.001). 8,11,14-Eicosatrienoic Acid 184-210 fatty acid desaturase 2 Homo sapiens 12-31
