octadecadienoic acid/hemorrhage

9-hydroxy-10,12-octadecadienoic acid (9-HODE) is generated by lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes in comparison to other marker compounds in at least 10 fold amount. A 10-25 fold increase of this new marker compound in relation to age matched healthy individuals was observed in the low density

BACKGROUND Cynanchum paniculatum (Bunge) Kitag known as a popular Chinese herbal medicine has been used for a long time to treat a wide variety of diseases including snakebites. However, there is scarce information on the antiophidian potential of this plant. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this work was

A lipoxygenase has been found in the reticulocytes of all mammalian species tested so far (rabbit, rat, mouse, monkey, and humans); evidence from in vitro studies suggests that the lipid-peroxidizing effects of this enzyme could render the mitochondrion and other intracellular organelles prone to

Rabbit reticulocytes obtained by repeated bleeding metabolize exogenous [1-14C]linoleic acid and [1-14C]arachidonic acid by three different pathways. 1. Incorporation into cellular lipids: 50% of the fatty acids metabolized are incorporated into phospholipids, mainly phosphatidylcholine (32.8%) but
