This study determined the contribution of prostanoids, cytochrome P450 (CP450) 4A enzyme metabolites of arachidonic acid, and other potential mediators of hypoxic dilation of isolated rat skeletal muscle resistance arteries. Gracilis arteries (GA) were viewed via television microscopy and dilator
20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a cytochrome P-450 4A (CYP4A) metabolite of arachidonic acid (AA) in human and rabbit lung microsomes and is a dilator of isolated human pulmonary arteries (PA). However, little is known regarding the contribution of P-450 metabolites to pulmonary
L-Carnitine (L-C) is involved in the transport of acyl groups into mitochondria for beta-oxidation, although its role in the adult brain is still uncertain. We have shown before that the uptake of L-carnitine into cultured rat cortical neurones was dependent on temperature as well as the Na gradient
