چکیده
12,13-Epoxy-ll-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic Acid, 4,5-Epoxy-N-acetylsphingosine, Human Liver Microsomes Transformation of 12,13-epoxy-ll-hydroxy-9-octadecenoic acid and 4,5-epoxy-N-acetylsphingosine by addition of porcine liver homogenate and human liver microsomes, respec tively was investigated. Both epoxides were converted to corresponding dioles by porcine liver homogenate, but not by human liver microsomes, suggesting location of the hydrolyzing enzymes not in the microsomes, but within the cell wall.

متن کاملHomolytic Decomposition of Linoleic Acid Hydroperoxide: Identification of Fatty Acid Products1
An isomeric mixture of linoleic acid hydro peroxides, 13-hydroperoxy-cis9 trans-II-octadecadienoic acid (79%) a~d 9-hydroperoxy-eis-12,trans-IO-octadecadienoic acid (21 %), was decomposed homolytically by Fe(I!) in an ethanolwater solution. In one series of experiments, the hydroperoxides were decomposed by catalytic concentrations of Fe (II). The 10.5 M Fe(III) used to initiate the decompositi...
متن کاملEpoxides as obligatory intermediates in the metabolism of olefins to glycols.
In the presence of rat liver microsomes and NADPH n-loctene, n-4-octene and 3-ethyl-2-pentene were converted to the glycols with no trace of epoxides. Increased substitution of ethylenic hydxogen atoms by alkyl groups was found to retard. the rate of biological oxid.ation but to enhance that of epoxidation by perbenzoic acid. in chloroform. Microsomes without cofactors hydrolyzed the monosubsti...
متن کاملNew bioactive fatty acids.
Many oxygenated fatty acids are bioactive compounds. Nocardia cholesterolicum and Flavobacterium DS5 convert oleic acid to 10 hydroxy stearic acid and linoleic acid to 10-hydroxy-12(Z)-octadecanoic acid. Pseudomonas aeruginosa PR3 converts oleic acid to the new compounds, 7,10-dihydroxy-8(E)-octadecenoic acid (DOD) through 10-hydroxy-8-octadecenoic acid, and racinoleic acid to 7,10,12-trihydrox...
متن کاملAn oxidized derivative of linoleic acid affects aldosterone secretion by adrenal cells in vitro.
Based on the clinical observation that humans with visceral adiposity have higher plasma aldosterone levels than controls, we postulated that endogenous fatty acids can be oxidized by the liver to form stimuli of the adrenal cortex. Although we could show that hepatocytes produced adrenal stimuli from linoleic acid in vitro, the yield was very small. To facilitate the elucidation of chemical st...
