Bovine alveolar macrophages, obtained by bronchoalveolar lavage, were labeled with tritiated arachidonic acid. The cells were stimulated with calcium ionophore A23187, and the radiolabeled arachidonic acid metabolites that were released were identified by reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Leukotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid were consistently observed. The lipoxygenase inhibitor, nordihydroguaiaretic acid, blocked production of these metabolites. The cyclooxygenase products, prostaglandin F2 alpha and thromboxane B2, were observed infrequently in comparison with leukotriene B4 and 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007975 Leukotriene B4 The major metabolite in neutrophil polymorphonuclear leukocytes. It stimulates polymorphonuclear cell function (degranulation, formation of oxygen-centered free radicals, arachidonic acid release, and metabolism).

D008264 Macrophages The relatively long-lived phagocytic cell of mammalian tissues that are derived from blood MONOCYTES. Main types are PERITONEAL MACROPHAGES; ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGES; HISTIOCYTES; KUPFFER CELLS of the liver; and OSTEOCLASTS. They may further differentiate within chronic inflammatory lesions to EPITHELIOID CELLS or may fuse to form FOREIGN BODY GIANT CELLS or LANGHANS GIANT CELLS.

D001992 Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid Washing liquid obtained from irrigation of the lung, including the BRONCHI and the PULMONARY ALVEOLI. It is generally used to assess biochemical, inflammatory, or infection status of the lung.

D006893 Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acids Eicosatetraenoic acids substituted in any position by one or more hydroxy groups. They are important intermediates in a series of biosynthetic processes leading from arachidonic acid to a number of biologically active compounds such as prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. HETE,Acids, Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
