Possible role of the choroid plexus in the supply of brain tissue with polyunsaturated fatty acids

Delta-6 desaturase was measured in rat brain microvessels and choroid plexus by incubation in the presence of radioactive linoleic acid. Under our conditions, in 21-day-old animals, delta-6 desaturase was not detected in brain microvessels. In contrast, it was present in choroid plexus (about 21 pmo...
