Abstract
Cytochrome P-450 enzymes primarily metabolize arachidonic acid to epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) in the kidney. These compounds serve as second messengers that play a central role in the regulation of renal vascular tone and sodium reabsorption in the proximal tubule and thick ascending loop of Henle.Entities:
