Polyunsaturated Fatty Acid Metabolism, 1st Edition, examines the biochemical pathways and regulatory networks that govern polyunsaturated fatty acid biosynthesis across diverse species. The book reviews lipid synthesis in animals, fish, and birds alongside alternative pathways in eukaryotes.
The volume explores how diet, endocrine factors, and genetic and epigenetic variations interact to regulate fatty acid production. It is designed for researchers in nutrition and food chemistry and scientists involved in establishing health standards.
