Eicosapentaenoic acid and prostacyclin production by cultured human endothelial cells.
Human umbilical vein endothelial cells incorporate eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) when this fatty acid is present in the culture medium. From 30 to 70% of the uptake remains as EPA, and much of the remainder is elongated to docosapentaenoic acid. All of the cellular glycerophospholipids become enriched...
