Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) are important components of cell membrane phospholipids and play important roles in lipid metabolism, gene expression and cell membrane function. Changes in fatty acid composition of cell membrane phospholipids would have an impact on the immune function. In this paper, the effects on avian immune function and regulation mechanism of PUFA were summarized.
