title: Transfomration of arachidonic acid into 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid by mouse peritoneal macrophages.
abstract: Mouse peritoneal macrophages were incubated at 37 degrees C for 30 min with arachidonic acid (all-cis-5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid). Oxygenation of arachidonic acid in mouse peritoneal macrophages occurs by two major pathways: fatty acid cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase. The major metabolite of the latter is 12-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid which was identified by gas liquid chromatography on high resolution glass capillary column and mass spectrometry.
