delta-6 Desaturase, measured at substrate saturation using linoleic acid, was found to be increased by more than two-fold when the content of vitamin E in brain microsomal membrane suspension was increased (up to 7.5 micrograms/mg membrane protein, i.e. 100 micrograms/g tissue from which microsomes were prepared). In contrast, this activity was reduced by 25% in the liver. This raises the question of the multiple role of vitamin E in membranes, the control of membrane polyunsaturated fatty acids through synthesis, and their protection against peroxidation.
