Male rats maintained on a control diet at 24 C and shifted to 12 C for five days showed no modification in D6 r 45 desaturase activity. When D6 and D5 desaturase activities were diminished by a hyperglycidic diet, hifting to cold increased both enzymatic activities. In general, modifications observed in liver microsomal fatty acid composition are consistent with those associated with the enzymatic desaturation activity. Lipids 22, 282-284 (1987}.
