“…Endothelial cells metabolize arachidonic acid (AA) via CYP450 enzymes (ω-hydroxylase and epoxygenase), via cyclooxygenases and 5-lipooxygenase, and by non-enzymatic degradation of arachidonic acid in the presence of free radicals [ 10 ]. Epoxygenases are members of cytochrome P450 family of enzymes, which in the endothelial cell produce four epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) isomers, of which 14,15-EET and 11,12-EET are the major active vasodilator metabolites [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. ω-hydroxylase, in smooth muscle cells, promotes the production of 20-hydroxy-eicosatrienoic acid (20-HETE), which is a vasoconstrictor [ 15 , 16 ].…”
