Figure 3.

Comparison of aortic and coronary artery production of cyclooxygenase and ‘lipoxygenase’ oxylipin products. Figures show (a) cyclooxygenase, (b) ‘lipoxygenase’ products of arachidonic acid (HETEs) and (c) linoleic acid (HODEs) products released by pig aorta (black bars) and coronary artery (grey bars). Oxylipins accumulated in 24 h serum-free organ culture were measured by LC–MS/MS and expressed as pg/mg of wet tissue weight. Data represents organ culture from n = 3–4 separate animals. * indicates p < 0.05 between Aorta and CA.
