Both 12-hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid (12-HHT) and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) are products derived from prostaglandin H2 (PGH2) catalyzed by thromboxane synthase. Whether or not they exhibit similar actions remains to be determined. While TXA2-induced activation of extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) has been

In the present study, the effects of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), monochloramine (NH(2)Cl), glutamine-chloramine (Glu-Cl) and taurine-chloramine (Tau-Cl) on the formation of 12-lipoxygenase (LOX) metabolite, 12-HETE, and cyclooxygenase (COX) metabolites, TXB(2), and 12-HHT, from exogenous arachidonic acid (AA) in rat platelets

To explore the possible actions of endocrine disruptors on the autacoid synthesis in the body, we investigated the effects of nonylphenol (NP), bisphenol A (BPA), di-n-butyl phthalate (DBP), benzyl-n-butyl phthalate (BBP), and di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) on the formation of 12-lipoxygenase

It is shown that 12-(S)-hydroxy-(5Z, 8E, 10E)-heptadecatrienoic acid (5-cis-HHT)--a physiological metabolite of arachidonic acid--is acid-catalyzed converted into a less polar substance with its maximum UV-absorption at (1)max=232 nm and a molar absorptivity of about epsilon=26600 +/- 200 M(-1)cm(-1). Using a
To establish the possible influence of isatin (2,3-dioxo-indole) on the activity of platelets, the effects of isatin on platelet eicosanoid synthesis were studied in rats. Different doses (12.5-50 mg/kg) of isatin were injected intraperitoneally (i.p.) and the effects on the
