1 The activity of delta 5-desaturase was higher in the upper than in the lower portions of the villus, and was greater in P than in S. The activity of delta 9- and delta 6-desaturases did not vary along the villus or with changes in dietary S or P. The two predominant EMM phospholipids were phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, and these did not vary along the villus or with changes in diet. phosphatidylethanolamine fatty acid desaturase 1 Rattus norvegicus
