Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization and comparison of fatty acyl Δ6 desaturase cDNAs from freshwater and marine teleost fish species
Xiaozhong Zheng,I. Seiliez,Nicola Hastings,Douglas R. Tocher,Stéphane Panserat,Cathryn A. Dickson,Pierre Bergot,Alan J. Teale +7 more
TL;DR: The cloning and characterization of desaturases from these fish is an important advance, as they are species in which there is a relative wealth of data on the nutritional regulation of fatty acid desaturation and HUFA synthesis, and between which substantive differences occur.
Journal ArticleDOI
Highly unsaturated fatty acid synthesis in vertebrates: New insights with the cloning and characterization of a Δ6 desaturase of Atlantic salmon
TL;DR: Quantitative real-time PCR assay of gene expression in Atlantic salmon showed that both Δ6 and Δ5 fatty acyl desaturase genes were highly expressed in intestine, liver, and brain, and less so in kidney, heart, gill, adipose tissue, muscle, and spleen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mapping of quantitative trait loci controlling trypanotolerance in a cross of tolerant West African N’Dama and susceptible East African Boran cattle
Olivier Hanotte,Yefim Ronin,Morris Agaba,P. Nilsson,A. Gelhaus,Rolf D. Horstmann,Y. Sugimoto,Stephen J. Kemp,John P. Gibson,Abraham B. Korol,Morris Soller,Alan J. Teale +11 more
TL;DR: The results suggest that selection for trypanotolerance within an F2 cross between N'Dama and Boran cattle could produce a synthetic breed with higher trypanosomosis levels than currently exist in the parental breeds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Molecular Cloning and Functional Characterization of Fatty Acyl Desaturase and Elongase cDNAs Involved in the Production of Eicosapentaenoic and Docosahexaenoic Acids from α -Linolenic Acid in Atlantic Salmon ( Salmo salar )
Nicola Hastings,Morris Agaba,Douglas R. Tocher,Xiaozhong Zheng,Cathryn A. Dickson,James R. Dick,Alan J. Teale +6 more
TL;DR: The cloning and functional characterization of 2 genes from salmon involved in the biosynthesis of HUFA are described, with the overall aim being to determine mechanisms for optimizing the use of vegetable oils in Atlantic salmon culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of diets containing vegetable oil on expression of genes involved in highly unsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis in liver of Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar)
TL;DR: Activity of the HUFA biosynthetic pathway, which showed some association with diet at 20 weeks, was positively and significantly correlated with dietary LO after 40 weeks of feeding, andexpression of fatty acid desaturase and elongase gene expression in liver was increased in a graded manner by increasing dietary LO.
