Abstract

Trans-arachidonic acids (trans-AA) are products of cis-trans isomerization of arachidonic acid by nitrogen dioxide radical (NO(2)), and occur in vivo, but their metabolism is unknown. We found that hepatic microsomes oxidized trans-AA via cytochrome P450/NADPH system to epoxides, which were hydrolyzed by epoxide hydrolase to diols (DiHETEs). 14,15-trans-AA produced one erythro diol and three threo diols each having one trans double bond.
