title: w-oxidation products of leukotriene E4 in bile and urine of the monkey.
abstract: The intravenous administration of [3H]leukotriene C4 in the monkey Macaca fascicularis results in the biliary and urinary elimination of [3H]leukotriene D4 and [3H]leukotriene E4 in addition to more-polar metabolites. Separation of these polar metabolites and chromatographic comparison with synthetic w-oxidized leukotrienes indicated the in vivo formation of w-hydroxy-[3H]leukotriene E4 and w-carboxy-[3H]leukotriene E4. Time course studies of the [3H]leukotriene metabolite pattern in bile and urine showed that w-hydroxy-leukotriene E4 was decreasing as w-carboxy-leukotriene E4 and additional polar derivatives were increasing.
