1 Rabbit hearts were perfused by the Langendorff technique and the interstitial effluent content of platelet anti-aggregatory activity (prostacyclin-like activity) was assayed at regular intervals. 2 Perfusion was performed with a solution containing 5% CO2 in O2. At regular intervals it was changed
Hypoxia-hypoglycemia has played an important role in inducing both phospholipase A2 activation and the expression of the early gene c-fos, in the neuroblastoma cell line SK-N-BE, after it has been differentiated by retinoic acid. Under hypoxic-hypoglycemic conditions, arachidonic acid release has
The effect of hypoxia was studied on the ionophore A23187-induced leukotriene production by rat alveolar macrophages. The production of LTB4 and LTC4 decreased with reducing oxygenation without change of cell viability. The synthesis of 5-HETE increased during hypoxia and the total production of
A common feature of the ischemic heart and atherosclerotic plaques is the presence of hypoxia (insufficient levels of oxygen in the tissue). Hypoxia has pronounced effects on almost every aspect of cell physiology, and the nuclear transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) regulates
OBJECTIVE
The role of arachidonate lipoxygenase activity in reoxygenation induced cell injury in adult canine cardiac myocytes was investigated.
METHODS
The production of hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), which are lipoxygenase metabolites, was measured with high pressure liquid chromatography
Two biologically active cytochrome P-450 arachidonate metabolites previously were characterized: 12(R)-hydroxy-5,8,10,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (12(R)-HETE) and 12(R)-hydroxy-5,8,14-eicosatrienoic acid (12(R)-DH-HETE), which are endogenously formed in the corneal epithelium. The functional activity
We have studied endothelial functions and integrity under clinically relevant levels of acute and profound hypoxia. Bovine aortic endothelial cells (EC) grown on microcarrier beads were exposed for 15-min intervals to normoxic (20% O2) or hypoxic (1-2% O2) medium. Control intervals were followed by
The influence of membrane polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) composition on lactate production, energy status, enzyme leakage and cell defences against oxygen free radical production was studied in cultured rat ventricular myocytes during hypoxia and reoxygenation. After 4 days in a conventional
The effects of 1 min of acute hypoxic treatment (1% O2 in N2) on incorporation of [1-14C]arachidonic acid into brain lipids of 16-day-old rats were investigated at 3, 6, and 12 min after intracerebral injection of the labeled fatty acid. The hypoxic-hypoxia condition associated with convulsive
In an attempt to study affinities for molecular oxygen of mammalian arachidonate oxygenases, which remain unclarified at present, we determined activities of platelet-type 12-lipoxygenase, leukocyte-type 12-lipoxygenase, 5-lipoxygenase, 15-lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase-1 and cyclooxygenase-2 at
The present study was designed to test the hypothesis that lack of oxygen in severely hypoxic tissue may inhibit arachidonic acid oxygenation and thereby result in an inhibition of eicosanoid synthesis. Hypoxia was induced in the isolated rabbit ear, and arachidonate metabolism and peripheral
The effects of hypoxia (respiration of 5% O2 for 30 min) and recovery (respiration of air up to 30 min) on brain levels of carbohydrate metabolites, of free arachidonate (FAA) and of several eicosanoids (E) were studied in the rat. Animals were sacrificed before or after 30 min of hypoxia, and
To evaluate the role of arachidonate metabolites in regulating pulmonary vascular tone, we performed multiple studies on a 17-month-old girl with idiopathic pulmonary hypertension, systemic arterial hypoxemia (due to ventilation-perfusion mismatching), and an elevated thromboxane A2 (TXA2) to
Kidney proximal tubules develop a severe but highly reversible energetic deficit due to nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA)-induced dissipation of mitochondrial membrane potential (DeltaPsi(m)) during reoxygenation after severe hypoxia. To assess the mechanism for this behavior, we have compared the
The cerebral concentrations of phosphatidylinositol (PI), phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate (PIP), phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2), phosphatidic acid (PA), triacylglycerol (TAG) and free fatty acids (FFA), as well as cerebral metabolites, were measured in rats subjected to 10 min of
