were analysed for relative values of saturation of 18 carbon chain length fatty acids (C18FA).
The saturation indices (ratio C18S: C18u) of the tumour areas were significantly and
consistently lower than the corresponding values in the non-tumour areas (P less than

prove to be a chemical marker reflecting deficient cellular control of the desaturation of …
