Effect of cholesterol enrichment on 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid metabolism by mouse peritoneal macrophages
The metabolism of 12-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (12-HETE) was investigated in mouse peritoneal macrophages enriched in cholesterol by incubation with acetylated low density lipoproteins. After incubating with labeled arachidonic acid, cholesterol-rich cells released more 12-HETE into the medium th...
