Biosynthesis of eicosanoids and transcellular metabolism of leukotrienes in murine bone marrow cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 2007
Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) biosynthesis by polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) is an important factor of inflammatory responses. PMNs also release LTA4, an unstable intermediate that can be taken up by neighboring cells and metabolized into LTC4. Most studies
