High impact information on LMFA03090003

The insulin release enhancer, 10-hydroxy-11,12-trans-epoxy-5(Z),8(Z),14(Z)-icosatrienoic acid (hepoxilin B3), is a 12-lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic acid that has been found in various mammalian tissues [1].
The hepoxilin B3-synthesizing activity was not observed in subcellular fractions incubated with authentic 12(S)-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, although it was located at least in the microsomal fraction when incubated with arachidonic acid [2].
Furthermore, the stable hepoxilin B3 analogue PBT-3 stimulated hatching at 10(-7) mol l(-1) [3].
In contrast, boiled neutrophil preparations converted 12-HPETE primarily into hepoxilin B3 which previously showed to be derived nonenzymatically [4].
