title: Effect of lipid-free milk on prostaglandin synthesis and lipid esterification in the young rabbit aorta.
abstract: The effect of lipid-free human milk on prostaglandin synthesis and lipid esterification by [14C]-arachidonic acid was examined in one week-old rabbit aortas, in vitro. In the presence of albumin, lipid-free milk increased arachidonic acid incorporation into aortic phospholipids, cholesterol esters and triglycerides but not into mono- and diglycerides. Lipid-free milk also increased the conversion of arachidonic acid into aortic 6-keto-PGF1 alpha, but not into PGF2 alpha or PGE2.
