Popis: Objective: A model approach is presented to the in vivo inflammation cascade, in which the activities of key enzymes (phospholipase A2 [3.1.1.4], prostaglandin synthase [EC 1.14.99.1], and lipoxygenases [EC 1.13.11.12]) are determined simultaneously in a single in vitro assay.¶Methods and Results: Detection of phospholipids (up to 50 pM) and arachidonic acid (up to 33 pM) is attained with high sensitivity and without radiolabelling using a SEDERE light scattering detector.¶Conclusions: Thus, in combination with a diode array UV-detector, lipids, prostaglandins, HETEs and other metabolites of the inflammation cascade can be determined with high efficiency using a reversed phase-high performance liquid chromatograph equipped with two highly sensitive detectors in series.
