Disease relevance of Ro 12-1989

  • The proportion of dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (20:3n-6) in serum phospholipids was inversely related to insulin sensitivity both before (r = -0.48, P < 0.001) and after (r = -0.46, P < 0.001) weight loss, but it did not change significantly in either group [1].
  • Uptake and metabolism of exogenous eicosa-8,11,14-trienoic acid in minimal deviation hepatoma 7288 C cells [2].
  • The most significant findings in eczema patient MNC were reduced ratios of 20:4n-6/20:3n-6 in total lipids and in phosphatidyl ethanolamine (PE) and of 20:4n-6/18:2n-6 in both total lipids, phosphatidyl choline (PC) and PE [3].
  • PN applied to malnourished patients with cystic fibrosis results in beneficial effects in a subgroup characterized by the presence of DHLA in serum; for the group as a whole, the positive effects are minimal [4].
  • Results showed that both spontaneous hypertension and salt-loading suppressed the desaturation of radiolabeled 18:2n-6 and of 20:3n-6 [5].
 

Psychiatry related information on Ro 12-1989

  • Linoleic acid (18:2n-6), the precursor of the n-6 fatty acids, was below normal in intermittent explosive disorder, but the dihomogammalinolenic acid (DGLA) (20:3n-6) and some subsequent n-6 acids were at the same time elevated among all offenders [6].
 

High impact information on Ro 12-1989

 

Biological context of Ro 12-1989

  • Beyond 30, 20, and 60 microM of 18:2n-6, 20:3n-6, and 18:3n-3 concentration, respectively, the enzyme activity deviated from Michaelis-Menten kinetics, suggesting an inhibition by excess substrate which is unlikely to occur in vivo as endogenous substrate concentration is much lower [12].
  • These results demonstrate in term baboon neonates that in vivo 1) 20:4n-6 was retroconverted to 20:3n-6, 2) 20:4n-6 did not contribute significantly to de novo lipogenesis of saturates and monounsaturates, and 3) the preformed 20:4n-6 contribution to brain 22:4n-6 accumulation was quantitatively a significant metabolic fate for dietary 20:4n-6 [13].
  • Preincubating the highly TNF-sensitive WEHI clone 13 cells for 44 hr with 50 mumol/L of 20:5n-3, 22:6n-3, 18:3n-6, 20:3n-6 or 20:4n-6 reduced cell survival 22 hr after challenge with TNF (40 ng/L) by 65%, 72%, 60%, 98% and 85%, respectively [14].
  • During the course of lactation the levels of n-6 metabolites, e.g. 18:3n-6, 20:3n-6 and 20:4n-6, in milk fat declined progressively [15].
  • Pulmonary function improved in patients who normalized their DHLA levels (vital capacity increased from 2.2 +/- 0.3 to 2.6 +/- 0.3 area %, p < 0.05), whereas those who continued to have undetectable levels of DHLA deteriorated (forced expiratory volume in 1 s decreased from 0.7 +/- to 0.6 +/- 0.1, p < 0.001) [4].

Associations of Ro 12-1989 with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of Ro 12-1989

  • In BOR and MIX animals, 20:3n-6 levels were significantly increased (P less than 0.05) in all phospholipids relative to SAF and MFO [25].
  • The proportions of the major long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LCP), 20:3n-6, 20:4n-6, 22:5n-3 and 22:6n-3, were highest at 1 week and decreased thereafter in both types of milk [26].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Ro 12-1989

  • Likewise, plasma levels of 20:3n-6, 20: 5n-3, and 22:6n-3 were lower in Usher's syndrome type I compared with the control group [27].
  • In conclusion, intravenous injection of a DGLA emulsion increased DGLA concentrations in immune cells within 1 h and suppressed the DTH reaction [28].
  • Fat-free diet produces a reduction in the conversion of eicosa-8,11,14-trienoic acid to arachidonic acid [29].
  • The concentrations of the fatty acids 20:3n-6 and 20:4n-6 were significantly reduced after 3.5 months with a vegan diet (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.01 respectively), but the concentration increased to baseline values with a lactovegetarian diet [30].
  • The substrate of the reaction [1-14C]eicosa-8,11,14-trienoic acid (20:3n-6), was separated from the product [1-14C]eicosa-5,8,11,14-tetraenoic acid (20:4n-6) by reverse phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) [31].
