Dafachronic acids (DAs) in Toxocara canis and Ascaris suum. a Proposed biosynthetic pathway of Δ7-DA in T. canis and A. suum, which involves NCR-1, DAF-36, DHS-16, STRM-1, EMB-8 and DAF-9. b Using Δ4- and Δ7-DAs (exact mass = 413.3061) as standards, endogenous DAs, with mass errors estimated at 0.5 and 0.4 parts per million (ppm), are present in the adults (female and male) of T. canis and A. suum, respectively. c and d Relative abundances of Δ4- and Δ7-DAs in the adult (female and male) stages of T. canis and A. suum, respectively
