It is reasonable to ask whether dietary modification or fatty acid supplementation might change the fatty acid composition of tissue phospholipids in children with SCD.
This particular desaturase is a regulatory enzyme in the pathway responsible for the biosynthesis of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in both the n-6 and n-3 fatty acid families [ 24 ] . Since children with SCD exhibit some of the characteristics of malnutrition, such as lower weight-for-age and lower lean body mass, the activity of the)5-desaturase in these children may be decreased, resulting in lower proportions of the long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids in both serum and membrane phospholipids.
However, the SCD subjects may have been consuming less food, on average, than the controls.
As we have reported that sCD39 releases intermediate ADP before ADP is further cleaved during ATP hydrolysis [ 25 ] , sCD39 probably has two conformations that bind metal-ADP complexes, one is the conformation that releases the ADP intermediate, and another that recruits intermediate ADP back to the enzyme for further hydrolysis to AMP.
The fatty acid composition of serum phospholipids is known to reflect the phospholipid composition of cell membranes [ 10 ] . Because the fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids is a major determinant of membrane fluidity and function [ 11 ] , any alteration in fatty acid composition of membrane phospholipids could contribute to the red cell abnormalities seen in SCD, such as cation imbalance, dehydration, reduced deformability and hypercoagulability [ 12 13 ] .
