5-Oxo-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-oxo-ETE) is a metabolite of the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) product 5S-hydroxy-6E,8Z,11Z,14Z-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE), formed by the microsomal enzyme 5-hydroxyeicosanoid dehydrogenase (5-HEDH). 5-oxo-ETE is a chemoattractant for neutrophils and eosinophils, both in vitro and in vivo. To examine the substrate

5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) plays key roles in infection and allergic responses. Herein, four 5-LOX-derived lipids comprising 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) attached to phospholipids (PLs), either phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) or phosphatidylcholine (18:0p/5-HETE-PE, 18:1p/5-HETE-PE, 16:0p/5-HETE-PE, and 16:0a/5-HETE-PC), were identified in primary human neutrophils. They formed

Human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) convert 6-trans isomers of leukotriene B4 (LTB4) to dihydro metabolites (Powell, W.S., and Gravelle, F. (1988) J. Biol. Chem. 263, 2170-2177). In the present study we investigated the mechanism for the initial step in the formation

Enzymatic and nonenzymatic oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids leads to the formation of biologically active products known as lipid mediators. In the brain, lipid mediators play an important role in supporting homeostasis and normal function. Thus, levels of these metabolites

The arachidonic acid released from cellular phospholipids of specifically stimulated platelets and leukocytes is oxygenated enzymatically by two major pathways. A complex cycloxygenase converts some of the free arachidonic acid to labile endoperoxides that are transformed to prostaglandins, thromboxanes and
