Abstract
Atherosclerosis was induced in New Zealand White rabbits through cholesterol feeding. Aortae were taken out from treated animals and incubated with arachidonic acid. Aortae from cholesterol-fed animals converted arachidonic acid into 15-hydroxy-5,8,11,13-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE). This conversion was not seen in aortae from control animals. The immediate precursor of 15-HETE, 15-HPETE, is an inhibitor of prostacyclin synthetase and might hamper prostacyclin production.Entities:
