Endogenous Epoxygenases Are Modulators of Monocyte/Macrophage Activity [PDF]
Background: Arachidonic acid is metabolized through three major metabolic pathways, the cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase and CYP450 enzyme systems. Unlike cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenases, the role of CYP450 epoxygenases in monocyte/macrophage-mediated ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammation
The n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid gives rise to the eicosanoid family of inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes and related metabolites) and through these regulates the activities of inflammatory cells, the production of ...

Role of triglycerides in endothelial cell arachidonic acid metabolism.
Arachidonic acid was incorporated into triglycerides by cultured bovine endothelial cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. At 75 microM or higher, more arachidonic acid was incorporated into triglycerides than into phospholipids.

Moss cell cultures as sources of arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids [PDF]
Lipid classes from tissue cultures of the moss Leptobryum pyriforme (Hedw.) Wils. were analyzed. In the total lipid fraction, this species contained 20% arachidonic acid and about 7% eicosapentaenoic acid.

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

In order to understand the mechanisms by which fatty acids are taken up by the placenta, the uptake of oleic, linoleic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids by cultured human placental choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells was examined.

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 ...

Metabolism of arachidonic acid-l-14C in the rat
The metabolism of arachidonic acid-1-14C has been studied in the rat. The acid was fed as a component of randomly rearranged soybean oil; its absorption was greater than 96%.
