Biosynthesis of VLC-PUFAs in wild-type, Elovl2+/−, and Elovl2−/− mice. The composition of the testicular acyl-CoA pool was determined by extraction, derivatization, and HPLC analysis of acyl-etheno-CoAs. Carbon 17:0 istd is the internal standard acyl-CoA. A: Acyl-CoA composition of wild-type and Elovl2−/− testes. Blue trace corresponds to Elovl2+/+, and the red trace corresponds to Elovl2−/− mice. *, indicates differences between the genotypes. B: Acyl-CoA composition of wild-type and Elovl2+/− testes. Blue trace corresponds to Elovl2+/+ mice, and the red trace corresponds to Elovl2+/− mice. *, indicates differences between the genotypes. Results shown are pooled samples from 7 wild-type and heterozygous mice and 2 knockout animals.
