Modulation of Protein Kinase C by Lipids (1993)

Title:

Modulation of Protein Kinase C by Lipids

Key words:

linoleic acide, omega-6, protein kinase C

Research Institution:

University of Texas at Austin

Location:

Texas

Researcher:

Mary F Locniskar

Project Description:

Dr. Locniskar continued studying linoleic acid, an omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid, and the role it seems to play in protein kinase C activation and distribution, that is essential for normal cell communication. She has shown that diets high in linoleic acid have decreased chemically-induced skin carcinogenesis when fed in the promotion stage.
