    Microsomes prepared from the livers of 4-week-old rats were, after extraction with 0.1 M potassium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4, unable to catalyse either the delta6 desaturation of alpha-linolenic acid (9c.12c.15c., 18 : 3) into 6c.9c.12c.15c., 18 : 4 or the delta5 desaturation of eicosatrienoic acid (8c.11c.14c., 20 : 3) into arachidonic acid (5c.8c.11c.14c., 20 : 4). Both these enzymes only showed full activity after incubation of the microsomes with either the 100 000 X g supernatant fraction or with purified bovine catalase. Bovine serum albumin, while capable of restoring 50% of the delta5 desaturase activity has no effect on the delta6 desaturase. In contrast the delta9 desaturase activity of microsomes was never completely lost after extraction with buffer but could be stimulated by optimum concentrations of both bovine serum albumin and catalase. The significance of the different responses of the three desaturases to the cytoplasmic components is discussed.
