Formation of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid by brain tissue
Abstract
Rat brain slices released spontaneously and after challenge with A23187 LTC4-like radioimmunoactivity. Total cat brain ischemia followed by short postischemic reperfusion period resulted in the increased release of lipid peroxides and PGE2 but not in LTC4-like substance by brain slices. In lumbar cerebrospinal fluid of patients with completed stroke presence of LTC4-like material was observed.
