Popis: 1. 1. [1- 14 C]Arachidonic acid is taken up by slices of rabbit renal medulla and cortex and incorporated into tissue phospholipids and neutral lipids. Although arachidonic acid is known to be the precursor of PGE 2 and PGF 2α in rabbit renal medulla, no 14 C-labelled prostaglandins were detected in the actual tissue lipids which were extracted from the slices of renal medulla and renal cortex after incubation with [1- 14 C]arachidonic acid. 2. 2. When the incubation fluids from the above experiments were extracted, large yields of 14 C-labelled PGF 2α , PGE 2 and hydroxy acids were detected in the fluids obtained from slices of rabbit renal medulla. In contrast, the incubation fluids obtained from slices of rabbit renal cortex contained no detectable prostaglandins or related metabolites.
