Table 1. MPO deficiency suppresses endotoxemia-induced increases in EpOMEs, DHOMEs, and DHETs.
Plasma levels of EpOMEs (epoxides of LA), DHOMEs (dihydroxy metabolites of LA), and DHETs (dihydroxy metabolites of AA) at 24 h after induction of endotoxemia. Results represent mean ± SEM derived from at least four animals per group. *p < 0.05 MPO-KO vs. wild-type, +p < 0.05 control wild-type vs. LPS treated wild-type, #p < 0.05 control MPO-KO vs. LPS treated MPO-KO. Plasma levels of other determined metabolites including epoxides of AA (EETs) and degradation products 9-oxo-ODE, 13- oxo-ODE, 5-oxo-ETE, and 15-oxo-ETE were under detection limits in both wild-type and MPO-KO mice. Limits of quantification are in Supplement Table 1.
