Arachidonic acid is oxidized by the microsomal cytochrome P-450 monooxygenases of rabbit kidney cortex and medulla to products that include W and W-1 alcohols and several epoxyacids. In vivo administration of deoxycorticosterone acetate results in a time dependent and selective induction of the arachidonic acid W/W-1 oxygenase activity of cortex and medulla microsomal fractions (145% and 220% of controls, respectively). Initial segmental analysis shows the presence of an active epoxygenase activity in the isolated rabbit pars recta and its in vitro activation by p-aminohippuric acid.

D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction. (Glick, Glossary of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 1990; from Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed) Microsome
D009399 Nephrons The functional units of the kidney, consisting of the glomerulus and the attached tubule. Nephron
D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D010105 Oxygenases Oxidases that specifically introduce DIOXYGEN-derived oxygen atoms into a variety of organic molecules. Oxygenase
D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.
