Table 2. MPO deficiency suppresses endotoxemia-induced increases in HETEs and HODEs.
Plasma levels of HETEs (AA-derived lipid metabolites) and HODEs (LA-derived lipid metabolites) generated by LOX-catalyzed pathways. HETEs and HODEs were analyzed 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 8-HETE, 9-HETE, 19-HETE, and 20-HETE were under detection limits in both wild-type and MPO-KO mice. Limits of quantification are in Supplement Table 1.
