title: [Arachidonic acid metabolism in the neutrophilic granulocytes in lymphogranulomatosis].
abstract: Metabolism of arachidonic acid in neutrophils was studied in vitro in blood samples obtained from 36 patients with Hodgkin's disease of various stage and histology and 32 healthy donors. The basic metabolites were: leucotriene B4, such products of its omega-oxidation as 20-hydroxy-leucotriene B4 (20-OH-LTB4) and 20-carboxy-leucotriene B4 (20-COOH-LTB4), and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenic acid. Their profile proved identical in patients with Hodgkin's disease and healthy donors. Most patients with Hodgkin's disease showed a decrease in leucotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenic acid and an increase in the level of omega oxidation of leucotriene B4 as assessed by omega catabolite/leucotriene B4 ratio. The levels of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenic acid and leucotriene B4 omega-oxidation were found to depend upon histology and stage of Hodgkin's disease. They were nearly normal in patients with stage III, mixed cellular disease, B-symptoms and signs of biologic activity of tumor. A direct correlation was established between the level of leucotriene B4 omega oxidation in neutrophils and that of ceruloplasmin in blood serum of patients with various stages of Hodgkin's disease.
