Abstract
Arachidonic acid can be catalyzed by three different kind of metabolizing enzyme: cyclooxygenase (COX), lipoxygenase (LOX) and/or cytochrome P450 (CYP), and they produce prostaglandins, monohydroxys, leukotrienes and epoxyeicosanoids respectively. Through the cytochrome P450 pathway, arachidonic acid can be converted to two kinds of eicosanoid acids: epoxyeicosanoids acid (EET) by cytochrome P450 and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) formed by CYP α-oxidases.
