칼슘을 함유하는 반응액에서 arachidonic acid는 뚜렷하게 superoxide와 $H_2O_2$의 생성을 자극하였고 NADPH oxidase를 활성화하였다. 칼슘이 없는 반응액에서 NADPH oxidase에 대한 arachidonic acid의 자극 작용은 나타나지 않았다. Arachidonic acid에 의하여 자극된 respiratory burst는 EGTA, TMB-8, verapamil, diltiazem, nifedipine, dibucaine, lidocaine, CCCP, 2,4-dinitrophenol, sodium arsenate, chlorpromazine, theophylline, $HgCl_2$, PCMB와 PCMBSA에 의하여 억제되었으나, tetrodotoxin, tetraethyl ammonium chloride와 procaine의 영향은 받지 않았다. EGTA는 거의 완전히 arachidonic acid에 의한 ${\beta}-glucuronidase$의 유리를 억제하였으며, verapamil, CCCP와 theophylline은 약간 억제하였으나, 이에 반하여 dibucaine은 유의한 효과를 나타내지 않았다. Arachidonic acid는 중성호성 백혈구로 부터 칼슘을 유리시켰으며, 이는 TMB-8에 의하여 감소되었다. Arachidonic acid에 의한 세포내 유리 칼슘 농도의 상승은 EGTA와 CCCP에 의하여 억제되었고 TMB-8에 의하여 약간 억제되었다. Arachidonic acid와 verapamil 또는 arachidonic acid와 dibucaine의 동시 첨가에 의하여 상승된 세포내 유리 칼슘 농도의 양은 arachidonic acid 단독에 의한 것보다 현저하였다. 이상의 결과로 부터 다양한 생화학적 변화가 arachidonic acid에 의하여 활성화된 중성호성 백혈구의 기능 표현에 관여할 것으로 시사된다. Arachidonic acid는 세포내 칼슘 저장고로부터 칼슘유리를 자극하여 세포내 유리 칼슘 농도를 상승시킬 것으로 추정된다. 중성호성 백혈구의 활성화증에 칼슘 유입과 유출은 동시에 이루어질 것으로 추정된다.

곰팡이인 Mortierella alpina DSA-12를 이용한 arachidonic acid의 생산을 위한 유기질소원의 선정과 배양 조건의 결정에 연구를 수행하였다. Corn steep powder (CSP)를 원료의 가격과 arachidonic acid의 생산을 기준으로 유기질소원으로 선정하였다. 탄소원으로 glucose와 질소원으로 CSP를 사용한 경우에 최적의 C/N ratio는 15-17 범위이다. Arachidonic acid의 생산을 위한 최적의 배양조건은 $25^{\circ}C$에서 500 rpm의 교반과 0.5 vvm의 통기이며, 이 때 50 g/L의 glucose와 18 g/L의 CSP로부터 21.8 g/L의 균사체량에 10.2 g/L의 총 지질을 얻을 수 있었으며, arachidonic acid의 농도는 3.70 g/L이었다. 500 L의 발효조에서 0.5 vvm과 200 rpm의 교반으로 실험을 수행한 결과 19.8 g/L의 균사체량과 9.1 g/L의 총 지질 및 3.67 g/L의 arachidonic acid를 얻었다. 이러한 결과는 bench-scale의 발효조에서도 질소원으로 CSP를 이용하여 arachidonic acid의 생산이 가능함을 보여주었다.

Arachidonic acid which is precursor of prostaglandins, when administered ($100.0\;{\mu}g/kg$, or $100.0\;{\mu}g/kg/min$) intravenously, did not influence on renal function of dog. Arachidonic acid, when infused ($10.0\;{\mu}g/kg/min$) into a renal artery, produced marked diuretic action accompanied with augmentation of renal plasma flow and with little changed glomerular filtration rate, and exhibited the increased clearances of osmolar substance and free water, and the decreased reabsorption rates of sodium and potassium in renal tubules in only experimental kidney, but did not influenced at all in control kindey. The diuretic acition of arachidonic acid infused into a renal artery was not affected by pretreatment of indomethacin (10.0 mg/kg. i.v) which is inhibitor of cyclooxygenase. Above results suggest that arachidonic acid infused into a renal artery produced diuretic action through direct renal hemodynamic changes, that is mediated by reduction of postglomerular resistance being caused by dilation of vas efferense.

We studied the mechanism of arachidonic acid on the secretion of a neurotransmitter in rat pheochromocytoma PC12 cells. Arachidonic acid inhibited the 70 mM $K^+$-induced secretion of norepinephrine. Arachidonic acid also inhibited the 70 mM $K^+$-induced $Ca^{2+}$ mobilization which is due to the opening of the voltage-sensitive $Ca^{2+}$ channels (VSCC). Both the half maximal inhibitory concentration ($IC_{50}$) of the norepinephrine secretion and VSCC coincided at 30 uM. The major oxidized metabolites of arachidonic acid, prostaglandins did not mimic the inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid. Nordihydroguaiaretic acid (NDGA) and indomethacin which are inhibitors of lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, respectively, did not block the inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid. The results suggest that arachidonic acid serves as a signal itself, not in the form of metabolites. The pretreatment of various $K^+$ channel blockers such as 4-aminopyridine, tetraethylarnmonium, glipizide, or glibenclamide also did not show any effect on the inhibitory effect of arachidonic acid. Through these results we suggest that arachidonic acid regulates VSCC directly and affects the secretion of neurotransmitters.

Ingestion of green tea has been shown to decrease prostaglandin $E_2$ levels in human colorectum, suggesting that tea constituents modulate arachidonic acid metabolism. In the present study, we investigated the effects of four purified green tea catechins, (-)-epicatechin (EC), (-)-epigallocatechin (EGC), (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), and (-)-epicatechin-3-gallate (ECG), on the catalytic activity of cytosolic phospholipase $A_2$ ($cPLA_2$) and release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites from intact cells. At $50\;{\mu}M$, EGCG and ECG inhibited $cPLA_2$ activity by 19 and 37%, respectively, whereas EC and EGC were less effective. The inhibitory effects of these catechins on arachidonic acid metabolism in intact cells were much more pronounced. At $10\;{\mu}M$, EGCG and ECG inhibited the release of arachidonic acid and its metabolites by 50-70% in human colon adenocarcinoma cells (HT-29) and human esophageal squamous carcinoma cells (KYSE-190 and 450). EGCG and ECG also inhibited arachidonic acid release induced by A23187, a calcium ionophore, in both HT-29 and KYSE-450 cell lines by 30-50%. The inhibitory effects of green tea catechins on $cPLA_2$ and arachidonic acid release may provide a possible mechanism for the prevention of human gastrointestinal inflammation and cancers.

Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid(PUFA) containing twenty carbon atoms with four double bonds. The family of w-6 PUFA, including arachidonic acid as well as r-linoleic acid, was served as intermediates in the formation of several key prostaglandin and leukotrienes. Several fungal strains of the genus Mortierella accumulate high amounts of arachidonic acid. In this study experiments were carried out to optimize the culture conditions for the mass production of fungus Mortierella alpina DSA -12 and lipid production with high proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially arachidonic acid. The batch culture was carried out in 500 L fermenter containing 50 g/L glucose, 18 g/L corn-steep powder and 100 mg/L MnS04 under $25^{\circ}C$, aeration rate of 0.5 vvm and agitation speed of 200 rpm without pH control. As a result, we could be obtained 22 g/L of cell mass with high contents of lipid 12.1 g/L) and arachidonic acid (5.1 g/L) The intermittent fed-batch culture was performed in the medium containing 20 g/L glucose and 10 g/L corn-steep powder. The final glucose concentration was 170 g/L and pH was maintained at 5.5 ${\sim}$ 6.0 by adding 14% ammonia solution. It was shown relatively high cell concentration (70.5 g/L) with high contents of lipid (45.8 g/L) and arachidonic acid 08.3 g/L). Therefore, when compared to batch cultures, the high concentration of arachidonic acid could be obtained by fed-batch culture using M. alpina DSA -12. These results imply that the fed-batch culture of M. alpina DSA -12 was feasible in industrial purpose and could be employed in the commercial production of arachidonic acid.

We compared the fatty acid composition of adipose tissues prepared from Korean native and Yorkshire pigs that have different characteristics in growth and fat deposition. There was no significant difference in the content of most fatty acids between the two breeds, with the exception of arachidonic acid and cis-11,14,17-eicosatrienoic acid. We also investigated the transcriptional levels of genes encoding three different types of oxygenases, including cytochrome P450 (CYP), lipoxygenase and cyclooxygenase, which metabolize arachidonic acid. We found a significant difference in the expression of the CYP genes, CYP2A13, CYP2U1 and CYP3A4, but no differences for the latter two genes between the two breeds. Our results suggest that the difference in arachidonic acid content between the two breeds was caused by differential expression of the CYP genes. Eventually, different levels of EETs and HETEs produced from arachidonic acid by the activity of CYP might contribute partly to the difference of fatness between the two breeds.

Several clofibrate congeners (bezafibrate, gemfibrozil and fenofibrate) were investigated the relationship between effects on the aggregation induced by aggregating agents (thrombin, arachidonic acid, ADP and collagen) and arachidonic acid metabolism in rabbit homogenized platelet. In platelet aggregation study, all drugs produced no significant inhibition (data not shown) in arachidonic acid and thrombin. Also platelet aggregation by ADP was not changed in bezafibrate and Inhibited dose dependently in fenofibrate and gemfibrozil. Platelet aggregation by collagen was inhibited dose dependently and significantly (from p<0.5 to p<0.001) by gemfibrozil and fenofibrate at concentrations between 20 and 400 $\mu$M. In arachidonic acid metabolism study, synthesis of thromboxane $B_2$ was not changed in rabbit platelet membranes and that of prostaglandin $E_2$ and $F_{2{\alpha}}$ was slightly increased by all drugs. It was concluded that clofibrate congeners inhibited ADP and collagen induced rabbit platelet aggregation and inhibition of collagen induced aggregation was probably mediated through some mechanism (pathway) other than arachidonic acid metabolism, judging from arachidonic acid metabolites (thromboxane $B_2$, prostaglandin $E_2$and $F_{ 2{\alpha}}$) synthesis in rabbit homogenized Platelet.
