Polyunsaturated fatty acids as universal endogenious bioregulators

Abstract

Studying of a physiological role of natural polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) at a new step of development of scientific and technical progress is actual. The present review is devoted questions of biosynthesis PUFAs, their regulatory functions, distribution in tissues lipids of an animal organism. In the review new effective methods of isolation and identification of unsaturated fatty acids and their metabolites from biological objects, such as extraction under pressure, a capillary nuclear magnetic resonance, a combination of a liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry also are considered.
