Table 1. PUFA composition of total cellular lipids from the HEK293 cells transfected with EGFP, sEgD4 or sScD4 genes.
Mol % offatty acids | EGFP | sEgD4 | sScD4 |
18∶2n-6 | 5.28±0.41 | 4.66±0.61 | 4.07±0.26 |
20∶3n-6 | 3.99±0.38 | 3.16±0.35 | 3.01±0.21 |
20∶4n-6 | 9.21±0.69 | 8.22±0.52 | 8.18±0.53 |
20∶5n-3 | 24.61±0.61a | 24.18±0.59a | 21.09±0.79b |
22∶5n-3 | 44.17±1.12a | 31.84±0.86c | 34.86±0.97b |
22∶6n-3 | 12.72±0.60b | 27.92±0.74a | 28.62±1.04a |
DHA/DPA ratio | 0.29±0.03b | 0.88±0.05a | 0.83±0.05a |
Values are means of three measurements. Values for each fatty acid with the same superscript do not differ significantly (P<0.05) between control (EGFP), sEgD4 and sScD4.
