Targeted Chiral Analysis of Bioactive Arachidonic Acid Metabolites Using Liquid-Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry
A complex structurally diverse series of eicosanoids arises from the metabolism of arachidonic acid. The metabolic profile is further complicated by the enantioselectivity of eicosanoid formation and the variety of regioisomers that arise. In order to investigate the metabolism of arachidonic acid in vitro or in vivo, targeted methods are advantageous in order to distinguish between the complex...
متن کاملActivation by Arachidonic Acid
Mechanosensitive ion channels have been described in many types of cells. These channels are believed to transduce pressure signals into intracellular biochemical and physiological events. In this study, the patch-clamp technique was used to idendfy and characterize a mechanosensitive ion channel in rat atrial cells. In cell-attached patches, negative pressure in the pipette activated an ion ch...
متن کاملRole of Arachidonic Acid
Bradykinin-induced relaxation of precontracted, porcine coronary artery (PCA) rings is mediated by distinctly different endothelium-derived relaxing factors depending on the contractile agent used. Thus when contracted with KC1, bradykinin-induced relaxation of PCA rings is mediated solely by nitric oxide (NO), whereas when contracted with the thromboxane mimetic U46619, a small component of th...
متن کاملRenal Arachidonic Acid Metabolism
Cells were isolated from the outer medulla of the rabbit kidney, primarily from the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (mTALH). These mTALH cells are heavily invested with a cytochrome P450-Iinked monooxygenase that represents the third pathway by which arachidonic acid is metabolized. After cell separation, approximately 80% of the cells proved to be mTALH in origin, based on electron micros...
متن کاملArachidonic acid metabolites as endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors.
The endothelium regulates vascular tone through the release of a number of soluble mediators, including NO, prostaglandin I2, and endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factor. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids are cytochrome P450 epoxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid. They are synthesized by the vascular endothelium and open calcium-activated potassium channels, hyperpolarize the membrane, and rela...
