Increasing dietary linoleic acid does not increase tissue arachidonic acid content in adults consuming Western-type diets: a systematic review [PDF]
Background Linoleic acid, with a DRI of 12-17 g/d, is the most highly consumed polyunsaturated fatty acid in the Western diet and is found in virtually all commonly consumed foods.

Involvement of different protein kinases and phospholipases A2 in phorbol ester (TPA)-induced arachidonic acid liberation in bovine platelets [PDF]
The effect of various phospholipase A2 and protein kinase inhibitors on the arachidonic acid liberation in bovine platelets induced by the protein kinase activator 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol–13-acetate (TPA) was studied.

Adipose tissue arachidonic acid content is associated with the expression of 5-lipoxygenase in atherosclerotic plaques [PDF]
Background The content of arachidonic acid in adipose tissue is positively associated with the risk of myocardial infarction, whereas the content of eicosapentaenoic acid in adipose tissue has been reported to be negatively associated with the risk of ...

METABOLISM OF ARACHIDONIC ACID IN PHOSPHOLIPID
After albino rats were starved or fed with the fat and pyridoxine deficient diet, linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic acids and pyridoxine were administered. The amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids in phospholipid of the liver and muscle was then determined and the following results were obtained.1) Even if rats were fed on the fat deficient diet or ...

Tamoxifen stimulates arachidonic acid release from rat liver cells by an estrogen receptor-independent, non-genomic mechanism [PDF]
Background Tamoxifen is widely prescribed for the treatment of breast cancer. Its success has been attributed to the modulation of the estrogen receptor.

Functional Characterization of Mouse and Human Arachidonic Acid Lipoxygenase 15B (ALOX15B) Orthologs and of Their Mutants Exhibiting Humanized and Murinized Reaction Specificities [PDF]
The arachidonic acid lipoxygenase 15B (ALOX15B) orthologs of men and mice form different reaction products when arachidonic acid is used as the substrate.

Arachidonic Acid in Human Milk [PDF]
Breastfeeding is universally recommended as the optimal choice of infant feeding and consequently human milk has been extensively investigated to unravel its unique nutrient profile. The human milk lipid composition is unique and supplies specifically long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), in particular, arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n–6) and ...
