Delta6-fatty acid desaturase (D6D) is the rate-limiting enzyme of the desaturation of linoleic acid (C18:2delta9,12) in the production of gamma-linolenic acid.

The PCR product of Mut+ recombinants was shown as a band of 1.38 kb of D6D gene and the product of 2.2 kb of AOX1 gene, while the product of Mut(s) transformants only was shown as a band of 1.38 kb of the D6D gene.To further confirm the transformants containing a functional D6D gene, the positive clones were selected and induced by methanol for expression.

In the mare, there is little, if any, P4 in the maternal plasma during late gestation and both progestagens and oestrogens are produced by a feto-placental unit which uses precursors supplied by the fetus to synthesise a range of C21 and C18 steroids, many of which are unique to the horse.

Abnormal serum IGF-II transport in non-islet cell tumor hypoglycemia results from abnormalities of both IGF binding protein-3 and acid labile subunit and leads to elevation of serum free IGF-II.

This is attributable to abnormalities of the IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) present in NICTH which is characterized by a marked decrease in the fraction of IGFBP-3 present in the 150 kD complex with acid labile subunit (ALS) and a 2- to 4-fold increase in IGFBP-2.

We studied the impact of these changes in IGFBPs on the concentration of free IGF-II using a neutral C-18 Sep-Pak extraction procedure.

We conclude that both a functional deficiency of ALS and IGFBP-3 are present in NICTH sera.
