title: Metabolites produced during the peroxisomal beta-oxidation of linoleate and arachidonate move to microsomes for conversion back to linoleate.
abstract: When [1-(14)C]4,7,10-16:3, a product produced after two cycles of arachidonate beta-oxidation, was incubated with rat liver peroxisomes and microsomes it was metabolized to 2-trans-4,7,10-16:4, a catabolic product; 6,9,12-18:3 and 8,11,14-20:3, anabolic products made via microsomal chain elongation of the substrate; and 7,10-16:2 and 9,12-18:2. Analysis of the acyl-CoAs produced when 6,9,12-18:3 and its catabolic product, 4,7,10-16:3, where incubated under the above conditions showed that the acyl-CoAs of all of the above compounds, as well as 5,8-14:2-CoA and 6:0-CoA accumulated. Our results show that when 5,8-14:2 and 4,7,10-16:3 are produced by peroxisomal beta-oxidation they can be further degraded to hexanoyl-CoA or move to microsomes for conversion back to linoleate, which is a precursor of arachidonate.
