1 437377 Diabetic rats treated twice daily with injections of 4 U of NPH insulin showed a "super" repair of their desaturase defect by 48 h: delta 9 desaturase activity increased eight times over control activity, while delta 6 desaturase activity increased two and one-half times over control activity.
2 437377 This, together with the fact that delta 6 desaturase activity in diabetes (64% of control) is altered less than is delta 9 desaturase activity (22% of control), indicates that delta 6 desaturase enzyme activity is less responsive to insulin than is delta 9 desaturase enzyme activity.
3 2976300 Stearic acid delta 9 desaturase activity is drastically depressed in the BB rats when fatty acid composition of liver phospholipids and microsomal total liver lipids are changed in spite of the daily injection of insulin necessary for the BB rats survival.
4 1536868 Desaturase activities, which are partially inhibited by spontaneous diabetes during the normo- and hyper-glycemic periods, were similarly affected by the various insulin treatment; delta 9 desaturase activity being more depressed than the desaturase activities of either delta 6 of delta 5.
