Conversion of arachidonic acid to lipoxygenase products by human fetal tissues.
[14C]Arachidonic acid was converted to several lipoxygenase products by homogenates of human fetal tissues as determined by thin-layer chromatography. The net conversions of [14C]arachidonic acid to radiolabeled lipoxygenase products were high (greater than or equal to 5%) in the case of fetal liver and brain, and low (less than or equal to 2%) in the case of fetal adrenal, heart, and kidney.
