... performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry as a novel eicosanoid/oxylipin, 8,13-dihydroxyeicosapentaenoic acid. This is rapidly inactivated under mild acid conditions to form a complex range of triene and pentaene chromophore-containing products that have only been partially identified. Injection...

... methods. Finally, the recent publication of the Ciona genome should facilitate studies on the nature and mode of biosynthesis of PGs in this advanced deuterostomate invertebrate. The second stage that may be influenced by eicosanoids is settlement when the cyprid larvae attach to the substratum, prior...

...Edward C. Pope; Andrew F. Rowley SUMMARY Eicosanoids are a group of oxygenated fatty-acid derivatives formed from C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids including arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids. In mammals, these compounds have been shown to be key molecules in several physiological processes...

... + efflux through quinine-sensitive, Ba 2+ -insensitive K + channels and Cl − efflux through an MK-196- and furosemide-sensitive Cl − conductance that is relatively unaffected by NPPB. This KCl efflux seems to be regulated by eicosanoids produced by the 5-lipoxygenase. Arachidonic acid metabolites from...
