摘要
Metabolism of arachidonic acid (AA) was studied in perfused lungs and kidneys of normal and atherosclerotic rabbits by determination of PGE2, PGF2α and the stable metabolites of PGI2 (6-keto-PGF1α) and TXA2 (TXB2). PGI2 was the main AA metabolite formed by normal lungs and kidneys. Atherosclerosis reduced the formation of PGI2 by about 50 % in both organs. TXA2 formation was similarily decreased in lungs. In kidneys, the decrease in PGI2 formation was accompanied by an increase in PGE2 formation. © 1979.
