Arachidonic acid epoxidation: epoxyeicosatrienoic acids are endogenous constituents of rat liver.
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids have been isolated and purified from the livers of male rats. They were identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometric techniques. These results expand the list of in vivo-produced eicosanoids. Their documented in vitro biological activities suggest a role for them in cell and tissue homeostasis.
