Feedback activation of ferrous 5-lipoxygenase during leukotriene synthesis by coexisting linoleic acid

Ferrous lipoxygenases seem to be activated through a feedback control mechanism via FA hydroperoxides generated from PUFAs by partially existing ferric lipoxygenases. However, during leukotriene synthesis, feedback activation of ferrous 5-lipoxygenase in the presence of arachidonic acid (AA) was not...
