Description
13(R)-
HODE is the opposite enantiomer of the 13(S)-
HODE produced when linoleic acid is incubated with soybean lipoxygenase. The presence of 13(R)-
HODE in the supernatants and membranes of cultured bovine endothelial cells has been attributed to COX metabolism.
1 13(R)-
HODE is a weak (IC
50 = 2.7 μM) inhibitor of U-
46619-
induced platelet aggregation.
