|---|---|---|
| nutrition | after functional expression of a DELTA12 fatty acid desaturase gene from Spinacia oleracea in transgenic Sus scrofa levels of linoleic acid (18:2n-6) in adipocytes that have differentiated in vitro from cells derived from the transgenic pigs are about 10 times higher than those from wild-type pigs. In addition, the white adipose tissue of transgenic pigs contained about 20% more linoleic acid (18:2n-6) than that of wild-type pigs. These results demonstrate the functional expression of a plant gene for a fatty acid desaturase in mammals, opening up the possibility of modifying the fatty acid composition of products from domestic animals by transgenic technology, using plant genes for fatty acid desaturases | Spinacia oleracea |
