Abstract
Cholesterol ester hydroperoxide (CEOOH) is one of the main lipid oxidation products contained in oxidized low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Previous studies suggest that CEOOH in oxidized LDL is closely related to several diseases. Of the oxidation mechanisms of cholesterol ester (CE) in vivo, it has been suggested that enzymatic oxidation induced by lipoxygenase (LOX) plays an important role. Thus, we attempted to develop a method that can evaluate the enzymatic oxidation of CE via the diastereoselective separation of CEOOH bearing 13RS-9Z,11E-hydroperoxy-octadecadienoic acid (13(RS)-HPODE CE). Firstly, we synthesized the standard of 13(RS)-HPODE CE. Using this standard, the screening of analytical conditions (i.e., column, mobile phase, and column temperature) was conducted, and separation of the diastereomers of 13(RS)-HPODE CE was achieved. The diastereoselective separation of 13(RS)-HPODE CE was also confirmed by LC-MS/MS. The developed method (column, CHIRALPAK IB N-3; mobile phase, hexane:ethanol (100:1, v/v); column temperature, 0 °C) can distinguish between enzymatic oxidation and other oxidation mechanisms of CE. Thus, the method can be expected to provide a greater understanding of the biochemical oxidation mechanisms in vivo. Such information will be essential to further elucidate the involvement of CEOOH in various diseases.

Abstract
In this work, a mild and sustainable catalytic aerobic epoxidation of alkenes catalyzed by cobalt porphyrin was performed in the presence of sunflower seeds oil. Under ambient conditions, the conversion rate of trans-stilbene reached 99%, and selectivity toward epoxide formation was 88%. The kinetic studies showed that the aerobic epoxidation followed the Michaelis-Menten kinetics. Mass spectroscopy and in situ electron spin resonance indicated that linoleic acid was converted to fatty aldehydes via hydroperoxide intermediates. A plausible mechanism of epoxidation of alkenes was accordingly proposed.

Abstract
Singlet molecular oxygen is a reactive species involved in biological oxidative processes. The major cellular targets of singlet molecular oxygen are unsaturated fatty acids in the membrane, as well as nucleic acids and proteins. The aim of this study was to investigate whether lipids and commercial hydroperoxides generate singlet molecular oxygen, in presence of nitronium and activated nitronium ion. For this purpose, monomol light emitted in the near-infrared region (λ = 1270 nm) was used to monitor singlet molecular oxygen decay in different solvents, with different hydroperoxides and in the presence of azide. Direct measurements of the singlet molecular oxygen spectrum at 1270 nm recorded during the reaction between lipids and commercial hydroperoxides and nitronium ions unequivocally demonstrated the formation of this excited species.

Abstract
Oxylipids are potent lipid mediators associated with inflammation-induced colon carcinomas and colon tumor survival. Therefore, oxylipid profiles may be useful as novel biomarkers of colon polyp presence. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between plasma non-esterified oxylipids and the presence of colon polyps. A total of 123 Caucasian men, ages 48 to 65, were categorized into three groups: those with no polyps, those with one or more hyperplastic polyps, and those with one or more adenomas. Plasma non-esterified oxylipids were analyzed using solid phase extraction and quantified using a targeted HPLC tandem mass spectrometric analysis. Statistical analyses included Kruskal-Wallis one-way ANOVA with Dunn's test for multiple comparison and generalized linear models to adjust for confounding factors such as age, anthropometrics, and smoking status. In general, monohydroxy omega-6-derived oxylipids were significantly increased in those with polyps. Concentrations of 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (HETE) and 11-HETE were significantly higher in those with hyperplastic polyps and adenomas compared to those with no polyps. Arachidonic acid-derived HETEs were significantly associated with colon polyp types, even after adjusting for age, smoking, and body mass index or waist circumference in regression models. Since many of these oxylipids are formed through oxygenation by lipoxygenases (i.e., 5-, 12-, and 15-HETE, and 15- hydroxyeicosatrienoic acid [HETrE]) or auto-oxidative reactions (i.e., 11-HETE), this may indicate that lipoxygenase activity and lipid peroxidation are increased in those with colon polyps. In addition, since oxylipids such as 5-, 12-, and 15-HETE are signaling molecules involved in inflammation regulation, these oxylipids may have important functions in inflammation-associated polyp presence. Future studies should be performed in a larger cohorts to investigate if these oxylipids are useful as potential biomarkers of colon polyps.

Abstract
The reaction of 5 S,15 S-dihydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5,15-diHpETE) with human 5-lipoxygenase (LOX), human platelet 12-LOX, and human reticulocyte 15-LOX-1 was investigated to determine the reactivity and relative rates of producing lipoxins (LXs). 5-LOX does not react with 5,15-diHpETE, although it can produce LXA4 when 15-HpETE is the substrate. In contrast, both 12-LOX and 15-LOX-1 react with 5,15-diHpETE, forming specifically LXB4. For 12-LOX and 5,15-diHpETE, the kinetic parameters are kcat = 0.17 s-1 and kcat/ KM = 0.011 μM-1 s-1 [106- and 1600-fold lower than those for 12-LOX oxygenation of arachidonic acid (AA), respectively]. On the other hand, for 15-LOX-1 the equivalent parameters are kcat = 4.6 s-1 and kcat/ KM = 0.21 μM-1 s-1 (3-fold higher and similar to those for 12-HpETE formation by 15-LOX-1 from AA, respectively). This contrasts with the complete lack of reaction of 15-LOX-2 with 5,15-diHpETE [Green, A. R., et al. (2016) Biochemistry 55, 2832-2840]. Our data indicate that 12-LOX is markedly inferior to 15-LOX-1 in catalyzing the production of LXB4 from 5,15-diHpETE. Platelet aggregation was inhibited by the addition of 5,15-diHpETE, with an IC50 of 1.3 μM; however, LXB4 did not significantly inhibit collagen-mediated platelet activation up to 10 μM. In summary, LXB4 is the primary product of 12-LOX and 15-LOX-1 catalysis, if 5,15-diHpETE is the substrate, with 15-LOX-1 being 20-fold more efficient than 12-LOX. LXA4 is the primary product with 5-LOX but only if 15-HpETE is the substrate. Approximately equal proportions of LXA4 and LXB4 are produced by 12-LOX but only if LTA4 is the substrate, as described previously [Sheppard, K. A., et al. (1992) Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1133, 223-234].

Catalase-Related Allene Oxide Synthase, on a Biosynthetic Route to Fatty Acid Cyclopentenones: Expression and Assay of the Enzyme and Preparation of the 8R-HPETE Substrate. Methods Enzymol 2018.

Abstract
Catalase-related allene oxide synthase (cAOS) is a hemoprotein that converts a specific fatty acid hydroperoxide to an unstable allene oxide intermediate at turnover rates in the order of 1000 per second. Fatty acid allene oxides are intermediates in the formation of cyclopentenone or hydrolytic products in marine systems, most notably the prostanoid-related clavulones. Although the key catalytic amino acid residues around the active site of cAOS are the same as in true catalases, cAOS does not react with hydrogen peroxide. cAOS occurs exclusively as the N-terminal domain of a naturally occurring fusion protein with a C-terminal lipoxygenase (LOX) domain that supplies the hydroperoxide substrate. In marine invertebrates, an 8R-LOX domain converts arachidonic acid to 8R-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (8R-HPETE) and the cAOS domain forms an 8,9-epoxy allene oxide. The fusion protein from the sea whip octocoral Plexaura homomalla is the prototypical model with crystal structures of the individual domains. The cAOS (43kDa) expresses exceptionally well in Escherichia coli, with yields of up to 100mg/L. This article describes in detail expression and assay of the P. homomalla cAOS and two methods for the preparation of its 8R-HPETE substrate. Another article in this volume focuses on the P. homomalla 8R-LOX (Gilbert, Neau, & Newcomer, 2018).

Abstract
The formation of atherosclerotic plaques in the large and medium sized arteries is classically driven by systemic factors, such as elevated cholesterol and blood pressure. However, work over the past several decades has established that atherosclerotic plaque development involves a complex coordination of both systemic and local cues that ultimately determine where plaques form and how plaques progress. Although current therapeutics for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease primarily target the systemic risk factors, a large array of studies suggest that the local microenvironment, including arterial mechanics, matrix remodelling and lipid deposition, plays a vital role in regulating the local susceptibility to plaque development through the regulation of vascular cell function. Additionally, these microenvironmental stimuli are capable of tuning other aspects of the microenvironment through collective adaptation. In this review, we will discuss the components of the arterial microenvironment, how these components cross-talk to shape the local microenvironment, and the effect of microenvironmental stimuli on vascular cell function during atherosclerotic plaque formation.

Abstract
Plant oxylipins comprise a highly diverse and complex class of molecules that are derived from lipid oxidation. The initial oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids may either occur by enzymatic or chemical reactions. A large variety of oxylipin classes are generated by an array of alternative reactions further converting hydroperoxy fatty acids. The structural diversity of oxylipins is further increased by their occurrence either as free fatty acid derivatives or as esters in complex lipids. Lipid peroxidation is common to all biological systems, appearing in developmentally regulated processes and as a response to environmental changes. The oxylipins formed may perform various biological roles; some of them have signaling functions. In order to elucidate the roles of oxylipins in a given biological context, comprehensive analytical assays are available for determining the oxylipin profiles of plant tissues. This review summarizes indirect methods to estimate the general peroxidation state of a sample and more sophisticated techniques for the identification, structure determination and quantification of oxylipins.

Abstract
Enzymatically oxygenated derivatives of the omega-3 fatty acids cis-4,7,10,13,16,19-docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and cis-5,8,11,14,17-eicosapentaenoic acid, known as resolvins, have potent inflammation resolution activity (Serhan, C. N., Clish, C. B., Brannon, J., Colgan, S. P., Chiang, N., and Gronert, K. (2000) J. Exp. Med. 192, 1197-1204; Hong, S., Gronert, K., Devchand, P. R., Moussignac, R., and Serhan, C. N. (2003) J. Biol. Chem. 278, 14677-14687). Our objective was to determine whether similar derivatives are enzymatically synthesized from other C-22 fatty acids and whether these molecules possess inflammation resolution properties. The reaction of DHA, DPAn-3, and DPAn-6 with 5-, 12-, and 15-lipoxygenases produced oxylipins, which were identified and characterized by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass-spectrometry. DPAn-6 and DPAn-3 proved to be good substrates for 15-lipoxygenase. 15-Lipoxygenase proved to be the most efficient enzyme of the three tested for conversion of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids to corresponding oxylipins. Since DPAn-6 is a major component of Martek DHA-S oil, we focused our attention on reaction products obtained from the DPAn-6 and 15-lipoxygenase reaction. (17S)-hydroxy-DPAn-6 and (10,17S)-dihydroxy-DPAn-6 were the main products of this reaction. These compounds were purified by preparatory high performance liquid chromatography techniques and further characterized by NMR, UV spectrophotometry, and tandem mass spectrometry. We tested both compounds in two animal models of acute inflammation and demonstrated that both compounds are potent anti-inflammatory agents that are active on local intravenous as well as oral administration. These oxygenated DPAn-6 compounds can thus be categorized as a new class of DPAn-6-derived resolvins.

Abstract
This study tests the hypothesis that ischemic preconditioning (IP) changes fatty acid (FA)-dependent uncoupling between mitochondrial respiration and oxidative phosphorylation. We found that IP does not alter mitochondrial membrane integrity or FA levels, but enhances membrane potential decreases when FA are present, in an ATP-sensitive manner. FA hydroperoxides had equal effects in control and preconditioned mitochondria, and GTP did not abrogate the IP effect, suggesting uncoupling proteins were not involved. Conversely, thiol reductants and atractyloside, which inhibits the adenine nucleotide translocator, eliminated the differences in responses to FA. Together, our results suggest that IP leads to thiol oxidation and activation of the adenine nucleotide translocator, resulting in enhanced FA transport and mild mitochondrial uncoupling.

Abstract
1-phenylethyl isocyanate (1-PEIC), a chiral derivatisation reagent for the resolution of secondary alcohols is a powerful tool to determine the configuration and enantiomeric excess of medium- to long-chain secondary alcohols by capillary gas chromatography. The separation of 1-phenylethylcarbamates (1-PECs) of secondary alcohols was systematically evaluated depending on the position of the stereogenic centre in the molecule, namely in alkanols (C(15)-C(18)), alkenols (C(15)-C(18)) and hydroxy fatty acids (C(14)-C(18)). The successful separation of the diastereomeric carbamates of (+/-)-heptadecan-7-ol or (+/-)-12-hydroxyoctadecanoic acid methyl ester by gas liquid chromatography demonstrates the unique separation power for 1-PECs for analytes with remote stereogenic centres. Saturated derivatives showed consistently higher resolution factors than the corresponding unsaturated derivatives.

Abstract
Lipoxygenases with R stereospecificity have a conserved Gly residue, whereas (S)-lipoxygenases have an Ala residue. Site-directed mutagenesis has shown that these residues control position and S/R stereospecificity of oxygenation. Recombinant Mn-LO was expressed in Pichia pastoris, and its conserved Gly-316 residue was mutated to Ala, Ser, Val, and Thr. The G316A mutant was catalytically active. We compared the catalytic properties of Mn-LO and the G316A mutant with 17:3n-3, 18:2n-6, 18:3n-3, and 19:3n-3 as substrates. Increasing the fatty acid chain length from C17 to C19 shifted the oxygenation by Mn-LO from the n-6 toward the n-8 carbon. The G316A mutant increased the oxygenation at the n-8 carbon of 17:3n-3 and at the n-10 carbon of the C17 and C18 fatty acids (from 1-2% to 7-11%). The most striking effect of the G316A mutant was a 2-, 7-, and 15-fold increase in transformation of the n-6 hydroperoxides of 19:3n-3, 18:3n-3, and 17:3n-3, respectively, to keto fatty acids and epoxyalcohols. The n-3 double bond was essential. An experiment under an oxygen-18 atmosphere showed that both oxygen atoms were retained in the epoxyalcohols. (R)-Hydroperoxides at n-6 of C17:3, 18:3, and 19:3 were transformed 5 times faster than S stereoisomers. The G316A mutant converted (13R)-hydroperoxylinolenic acid to 13-ketolinolenic acid (with an apparent K(m) of 0.01 mm) and to epoxyalcohols (viz. erythro- and threo-11-hydroxy-(12R,13R)-epoxy-(9Z,15Z)-octadecadienoic acids and one of the corresponding cis-epoxides as major products). A reducing lipoxygenase inhibitor stimulated the hydroperoxide isomerase activity, whereas a suicide-type lipoxygenase inhibitor reduced this activity. The n-3 double bond also appeared to influence the anaerobic formation of epoxyalcohols by Mn-LO, since 18:2n-6 and 18:3n-3 yielded different profiles of epoxyalcohols. Our results suggest that the G316A mutant augmented the hydroperoxide isomerase activity by positioning the hydroperoxy group at the n-6 carbon of n-3 fatty acids closer to the reduced catalytic metal.

Abstract
Plant-pathogen interactions play a vital role in developing resistance to pests. Dolichos biflorus (horse gram), a leguminous pulse crop of the subtropics, exhibits amazing defence against attack by pests/pathogens. Investigations to locate the possible source of the indomitable pest resistance of D. biflorus, which is the richest source of LOX (lipoxygenase) activity, have led to a molecule that exhibits LOX-like functions. The LOX-like activity associated with the molecule, identified by its structure and stability to be a tetrameric lectin, was found to be unusual. The evidence for the lectin protein with LOX activity has come from (i) MALDI-TOF (matrix-assisted laser-desorption ionization-time-of-flight) MS, (ii) N-terminal sequencing, (iii) partial sequencing of the tryptic fragments of the protein, (iv) amino acid composition, and (v) the presence of an Mn2+ ion. A hydrophobic binding site of the tetrameric lectin, along with the presence of an Mn2+ ion, accounts for the observed LOX like activity. This is the first ever report of a protein exhibiting both haemagglutination and LOX-like activity. The two activities are associated with separate loci on the same protein. LOX activity associated with this molecule adds a new dimension to our understanding of lectin functions. This observation has wide implications for the understanding of plant defence mechanisms against pests and the cellular complexity in plant-pathogen interactions that may lead to the design of transgenics with potential to impart pest resistance to other crops.

Abstract
Manganese lipoxygenase (Mn-LO) oxygenates linoleic acid (LA) to a mixture of the hydroperoxides--11 (S)-hydroperoxy-9Z,12Z-octadecadienoic acid [11(S)-HPODE] and 13(R)-hydroperoxy-9Z,11 E-octadecadienoic acid [13(R)-HPODE]-- and also catalyzes the conversion of 11 (S)-HPODE to 13(R)-HPODE via oxygen-centered (LOO-) and carbon-centered (L.) radicals [Hamberg, M., Su, C., and Oliw, E. (1998) Manganese Lipoxygenase. Discovery of a Bis-allylic Hydroperoxide as Product and Intermediate in a Lipoxygenase Reaction, J. Biol. Chem. 273, 13080-13088]. The aims of the present work were to investigate whether 11-HPODE can also be produced by iron-dependent lipoxygenases and to determine the enzymatic transformations of stereoisomers of 11-HPODE by lipoxygenases. Rice leaf pathogen-inducible lipoxygenase, but not soybean lipoxygenase-1 (sLO-1), generated a low level of 11-HPODE (0.4%) besides its main hydroperoxide, 13(S)-HPODE, on incubation with LA. Steric analysis revealed that 11-HPODE was enriched with respect to the R enantiomer [74% 11(R)]. In agreement with previous results, 11 (S)-HPODE incubated with Mn-LO provided 13(R)-HPODE, and the same conversion also took place with the methyl ester of 11(S)-HPODE. 11(R,S)-HPODE was metabolized biphasically in the presence of Mn-LO, i.e., by a rapid phase during which the 11(S)-enantiomer was converted into 13(R)-HPODE and a slow phase during which the 11(R)-enantiomer was converted into 9(R)-HPODE. sLO-1 catalyzed a slow conversion of 11 (S)-HPODE into a mixture of 13(R)-HPODE (75%), 9(S)-HPODE (10%), and 13(S)-HPODE (10%), whereas 11(R,S)-HPODE produced a mixture of nearly racemic 13-HPODE (approximately 70%) and 9-HPODE (approximately 30%). The results showed that 11HPODE can also be produced by an iron-dependent LO and suggested that the previously established mechanism of isomerization of 11(S)-HPODE involving suprafacial migration of O2 is valid also for the isomerizations of 11(R)-HPODE by Mn-LO and of 11(S)-HPODE by sLO-1.

Abstract
The decomposition of lipid hydroperoxides into peroxyl radicals is a potential source of singlet oxygen ((1)O(2)) in biological systems. We report herein on evidence of the generation of (1)O(2) from lipid hydroperoxides involving a cyclic mechanism from a linear tetraoxide intermediate proposed by Russell. Using (18)O-labeled linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LA(18)O(18)OH) in the presence of Ce(4+) or Fe(2+), we observed the formation of (18)O-labeled (1)O(2) ((18)[(1)O(2)]) by chemical trapping of (1)O(2) with 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) and detected the corresponding (18)O-labeled DPA endoperoxide (DPA(18)O(18)O) by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Spectroscopic evidence for the generation of (1)O(2) was obtained by measuring (i) the dimol light emission in the red spectral region (lambda > 570 nm); (ii) the monomol light emission in the near-infrared (IR) region (lambda = 1270 nm); and (iii) the quenching effect of sodium azide. Moreover, the presence of (1)O(2) was unequivocally demonstrated by the direct spectral characterization of the near-IR light emission. For the sake of comparison, (1)O(2) deriving from the H(2)O(2)/OCl(-) and H(2)O(2)/MoO(4)(2)(-) systems or from the thermolysis of the endoperoxide of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene was also monitored. These chemical trapping and photoemission properties clearly demonstrate that the decomposition of LA(18)O(18)OH generates (18)[(1)O(2)], consistent with the Russell mechanism and pointing to the involvement of (1)O(2) in lipid hydroperoxide mediated cytotoxicity.

Abstract
Peroxynitrite (ONOO-), a biologically active species, can induce lipid peroxidation in biological membranes, thereby leading to the formation of various hydroperoxides. We report herein on the formation of singlet molecular oxygen [O(2) ((1)Delta(g))] in the reaction of peroxynitrite with linoleic acid hydroperoxide (LAOOH) or (18)O-labeled LAOOH. The formation of O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) was characterized by (i) dimol light emission in the red spectral region (lambda > 570 nm) using a red-sensitive photomultiplier; (ii) monomol light emission in the near-infrared region (lambda = 1270 nm) with a liquid nitrogen-cooled germanium diode or a photomultiplier coupled to a monochromator; (iii) the enhacing effect of deuterium oxide on chemiluminescence intensity, as well as the quenching effect of sodium azide; and (iv) chemical trapping of O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) or (18)O-labeled O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) with the 9,10-diphenylanthracene (DPA) and detection of the corresponding DPAO(2) or (18)O-labeled DPA endoperoxide by HPLC coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. Moreover, the presence of O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) was unequivocally demonstrated by a direct spectral characterization of the near-infrared light emission attributed to the transition of O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) to the triplet ground state. For the sake of comparison, O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) deriving from the thermolysis of the endoperoxide of 1,4-dimethylnaphthalene or from the H(2)O(2)/hypochlorite and H(2)O(2)/molybdate systems were also monitored. These novel observations identified the generation of O(2) ((1)Delta(g)) in the reaction of LAOOH with peroxynitrite, suggesting a potential O(2) ((1)Delta(g))-dependent mechanism that contributes to cytotoxicity mediated by lipid hydroperoxides and peroxynitrite reactions in biological systems.

Abstract
Nitric oxide (*NO) is a pervasive free radical species that concentrates in lipophilic compartments to serve as a potent inhibitor of lipid and low-density lipoprotein oxidation processes. In this study, we synthesized, characterized, and detected nitrated derivatives of linoleic acid (18:2) in human blood plasma using high-pressure liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. While the reaction of nitronium tetrafluoroborate with 18:2 presented ions with a mass/charge (m/z) ratio of 324 in the negative ion mode, characteristic of nitrolinoleate (LNO(2)), the reaction of nitrite (NO(2)(-)) with linoleic acid hydroperoxide yielded nitrohydroxylinoleate (LNO(2)OH, m/z 340). Further analysis by MS/MS gave a major fragment at m/z 46, characteristic of a nitro group (-NO(2)) present in the parent ion. This was confirmed by using [(15)N]O(2), which gave products of m/z 325 and 341, that after fragmentation yielded a daughter ion at m/z 47. Moreover, a C-NO(2) structure was also demonstrated in LNO(2)OH by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy ((15)N NMR, delta 375.9), as well as by infrared analysis in both LNO(2)OH (nu(max) = 3427, 1553, and 1374 cm(-1)) and LNO(2) (nu(max) = 1552 and 1373 cm(-1)). Stable products with m/z of 324 and 340, which possessed the same chromatographic characteristics and fragmentation pattern as synthesized standards, were found in human plasma of normolipidemic and hyperlipidemic donors. The presence of these novel nitrogen-containing oxidized lipid adducts in human plasma could represent "footprints" of the antioxidant action of *NO on lipid oxidation and/or a pro-oxidant and nitrating action of *NO-derived species.

Abstract
15 lipoxygenase (15LO) is a lipid-oxidizing enzyme that is considered to contribute to the formation of oxidized lipids in atherosclerotic lesions. Monocyte-macrophages are the key cells that express 15LO in atherosclerotic lesions. In this review, we examine the evidence for 15LO involvement in atherogenesis and explore and evaluate the potential mechanisms whereby 15LO may contribute to the oxidation of LDL by monocyte-macrophages. We also describe several possible pro- versus anti-atherogenic functions that may be mediated by various products of 15LO lipid oxidation. Central pathways involved in regulating 15LO expression and activity that may serve as future targets for intervention and regulation of this enzyme are also reviewed.

Abstract
N-Acylethanolamines (NAEs) constitute a new class of plant lipids and are thought to play a role in plant defense strategies against pathogens. In plant defense systems, oxylipins generated by the lipoxygenase pathway are important actors. To date, it is not known whether plants also use endogeneous oxylipins derived from NAEs in their defense reactions. We tested whether members of the NAE class can be converted by enzymes constituting this pathway, such as (soybean) lipoxygenase-1, (alfalfa) hydroperoxide lyase and (flax seed) allene oxide synthase. We found that both alpha-N-linolenoylethanolamine and gamma-N-linolenoylethanolamine (18:3), as well as alpha-N-linolenoylamine and gamma-N-linolenoylamine were converted into their (13S)-hydroperoxide derivatives by lipoxygenase. Interestingly, only the hydroperoxides of alpha-N-linolenoyl(ethanol)amines and their linoleic acid analogs (18:2) were suitable substrates for hydroperoxide lyase. Hexanal and (3Z)-hexenal were identified as volatile products of the 18:2 and 18:3 fatty acid (ethanol)amides, respectively. 12-Oxo-N-(9Z)-dodecenoyl(ethanol)amine was the nonvolatile hydrolysis product. Kinetic studies with lipoxygenase and hydroperoxide lyase revealed that the fatty acid ethanolamides were converted as readily or even better than the corresponding free fatty acids. Allene oxide synthase utilized all substrates, but was most active on (13S)-hydroperoxy-alpha-N-linolenoylethanolamine and the (13S)-hydroperoxide of linoleic acid and its ethanolamine derivative. alpha-Ketols and gamma-ketols were characterized as products. In addition, cyclized products, i.e. 12-oxo-N-phytodienoylamines, derived from (13S)-hydroperoxy-alpha-N-linolenoylamines were found. The results presented here show that, in principle, hydroperoxide NAEs can be formed in plants and subsequently converted into novel phytooxylipins.

Abstract
Prostaglandins, thromboxane, leukotrienes, isoprostanes and other arachidonic acid metabolites are structurally closely related, potent, biologically active compounds. One of the most challenging tasks in eicosanoids research has been to define the role of the various eicosanoids in human health and disease, and to monitor the effects of drugs on the in vivo synthesis of these lipid mediators in man. Great advances in instrumentation and ionization techniques, in particular the development of tandem mass spectrometry and negative-ion chemical ionization (NICI), in gas chromatography and also advances in methodologies for solid-phase extraction and sample purification by thin-layer chromatography and high-performance liquid chromatography have been made. Now gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and GC-tandem MS in the NICI mode are currently indispensable analytical tools for reliable routine quantitation of eicosanoid formation in vivo in humans. In this article analytical methods for eicosanoids based on GC-MS and GC-tandem MS are reviewed emphasizing the quantitative measurement of specific index metabolites in human urine and its importance in clinical studies in man. Aspects of method validation and quality control are also discussed.

Abstract
Modern separation and identification methods enable detailed insight in lipid peroxidation (LPO) processes. The following deductions can be made: (1) Cell injury activates enzymes: lipoxygenases generate lipid hydroperoxides (LOOHs), proteases liberate Fe ions--these two processes are prerequisites to produce radicals. (2) Radicals attack any activated CH2-group of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) with about a similar probability. Since linoleic acid (LA) is the most abundant PUFA in mammals, its LPO products dominate. (3) LOOHs are easily reduced in biological surroundings to corresponding hydroxy acids (LOHs). LOHs derived from LA, hydroxyoctadecadienoic acids (HODEs), surmount other markers of LPO. HODEs are of high physiological relevance. (4) In some diseases characterized by inflammation or cell injury HODEs are present in low density lipoproteins (LDL) at 10-100 higher concentration, compared to LDL from healthy individuals.

Abstract
Anandamide, an endogenous ligand for cannabinoid receptors CB1 and CB2, was incubated with purified 5-lipoxygenases from barley and tomato. This yielded 11S-hydroperoxy-5,8,12,14-eicosatetraenoylethanolamide (11S-HPANA) as major product (about 70%). This is in contrast with the dioxygenation of arachidonic acid, where 5S-HPETE is the major product. This observation implies that the regiospecificity of the dioxygenation, catalyzed by nonmammalian 5-lipoxygenases, is altered by a modification at the carboxylic end of the substrate. Soybean 15-lipoxygenase forms 15S-HPANA (95%) and 11S-HPANA (5%), and in the second dioxygenation 5,15-diHPANA (45%) and 8,15-diHPANA (55%) are formed. Apparently, the regiospecificity of the soybean 15-lipoxygenase reaction is only slightly affected using anandamide as substrate.

Abstract
The effect of dopamine-melanin (DA-melanin), synthetic model of neuromelanin, on the stability of 13-hydroperoxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HPODE) has been investigated using a reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. It was found that DA-melanin effectively accelerated the decomposition of 13-HPODE, both in the absence and in the presence of ferrous ions. The disappearance of 13-HPODE was accompanied by the formation of 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (13-HODE). The results obtained indicate that DA-melanin is able to reduce linoleic acid hydroperoxide to its stable hydroxyl derivative. The fatty acid hydroperoxide-reducing ability of DA-melanin appears to play an important role in the antioxidative activity of neuromelanin in the process of lipid peroxidation.

Abstract
There is considerable evidence to suggest that cytokines modulate the pathological cellular events that occur in human atherosclerosis. We sought to determine the effects of T-helper-lymphocyte (TH)-1- and TH2-type cytokines on the ability of human monocytes to oxidize LDL, one of the pathological processes believed to occur in atherosclerosis. The ability of opsonized zymosan (ZOP)-activated human monocytes to oxidize LDL in a 24-hour period was significantly enhanced by pretreatment of the monocytes with the TH2 cytokines, interleukin (IL)-4, or IL-13 compared with untreated monocytes. In contrast, interferon (IFN)-gamma, a TH1 cytokine, inhibited LDL oxidation by activated monocytes. Treatment with IFN-gamma also prevented the IL-4- and IL-13-mediated enhancement of LDL oxidation by ZOP-activated monocytes. Untreated or cytokine-treated unactivated monocytes did not oxidize LDL. The enhancement of LDL oxidation mediated by IL-4 or IL-13 treatment was not due to a mitogenic effect of the cytokines on the monocytes, nor to modulation of superoxide anion (O2-) production. The cytokine regulation of 15-lipoxygenase (LO) in the monocytes was also examined. IL-4 and IL-13 induction of 15-LO mRNA and 15-LO activity in the monocytes was confirmed, as was the previously reported inhibition of induction by IFN-gamma. In summary, IL-4 and IL-13 enhance the ability of activated human monocytes to oxidize LDL, whereas IFN-gamma inhibits the cell-mediated oxidation. The up- and downregulation of activated monocyte-mediated LDL oxidation by these cytokines correlates with the expression of 15-LO activity. Considerable evidence suggests that the progression of atherosclerosis includes events that are immunologically mediated, lending potential physiological relevance to these in vitro observations.

Abstract
In previous work we demonstrated that up to 30% of cholesteryl linoleate in homogenates of advanced human plaque samples is present in oxidized forms. Here we show that the material from plaque hexane extracts which co-elutes with cholesteryl hydroxy-linoleate on reversed phase HPLC (Anal Biochem 1993;213:79), is composed of several isomers of cholesteryl hydroxy- and cholesteryl oxo-octadecadienoate. Enzymatic hydrolysis and measurement of liberated cholesterol and disappearance of the esters revealed that almost all of the material consisted of unoxidized cholesterol esterified to oxidized derivatives of octadecadienoate. Semi-preparative reversed-phase HPLC was used to obtain sufficient quantities of this co-eluting material to undertake normal phase HPLC separation of these components. The nature of such separated and isolated compounds was identified, by co-chromatography with authentic standards, UV spectroscopy and chemical ionization and electron impact mass spectrometry, as cholesteryl hydroxy- and cholesteryl oxo-octadecadienoate. These oxidized fatty acids have been observed previously in plaque, in agreement with our new unambiguous demonstration of their presence as cholesteryl esters. The application of the methods described for the separation of the various forms of oxidized cholesteryl octadecadienoate may aid mechanistic studies of in vitro and in vivo lipoprotein lipid oxidation.

Abstract
Anandamide, a novel neurotransmitter, has been reported to be dioxygenated by brain lipoxygenase [1,11]. Anandamides constitute a new class of neuroregulatory fatty acid amides. However, little is known about the enzymatic dioxygenation of these lipids. Therefore, we have tested several members of the neuroactive fatty acid amide class containing a 1Z,4Z-pentadiene system whether they could be dioxygenated by soybean lipoxygenase-1, which is a model enzyme for mammalian lipoxygenases. In this study it was found that lipoxygenase-1 converts N-linoleoylethanolamide (ODNHEtOH), N-linoleoylamide (ODNH2), N-linoleoylmethylamide (ODNHMe) and N,N-linoleoyldimethylamide (ODN(Me)2 into 13-(S)-hydroperoxy-9Z,11E-octadeca-9,11-dienoyl amides derivatives. The apparent Km values for ODNHEtOH (23.6 +/- 3.7 microM), ODNH2 (8.60 +/- 0.65 microM) and linioleic acid (OD: 8.85 +/- 0.74 microM) are not significantly different. The k(cat) for ODNH2 (32.4 +/- 1.2 s(-1)) is twice as small as compared to the turnover numbers of the other substrates, viz. ODNHEtOH (61.6 +/- 5.0 s(-1)) and OD (54.4 +/- 2.0 s(-1). The results suggest that N-linoleoyl ethanolamide and N-linoleoyl amide can be readily converted by lipoxygenases in vivo.

Abstract
We have developed an assay for the isolation and quantitation by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) of free 9- and 13-hydroxyoctadecadienoic acid (9-HODE, 13-HODE) in the mammary glands of female mice. Internal standards consisting of 18O2-labeled analogs of 9- and 13-HODE are added to pulverized frozen tissue prior to extraction with ethanol. Nonlipid materials are removed in a chloroform/methanol/water step. The remaining lipid material is methylated with ethereal diazomethane, and much of the nonoxygenated fatty acid methyl esters are removed via silica solid-phase extraction. Samples are either further derivatized with bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide to form the trimethylsilyl ethers for quantitative analysis by GC-MS or are analyzed as the methyl esters by chiral high-performance liquid chromatography to determine the enantiomeric distribution of the 9- and 13-HODE. The extraction and quantitation protocol was applied to the analysis of mammary glands for free 9- and 13-HODE from mice fed isocaloric diets containing 20% corn oil, 5% corn oil, or 20% beef tallow. Chiral analysis of the products showed higher production of 13(S)-HODE relative to 13(R)-HODE; the enantiomeric excess is most likely due to enzymatic production of 13-HODE superimposed on a background of autoxidative production of 13(R)- plus 9(S)- and 9(R)-HODE. In addition, the effect of sample handling and storage conditions on the formation of 9- and 13-HODE in the samples was assessed by exposing aliquots of a common pool of rat mammary gland tissue to specified conditions prior to analysis. This methodology will be important during investigations of the contribution of linoleate oxidation products to the enhancement of mammary tumorigenesis by dietary fat.

Abstract
Polyunsaturated fatty acids can be oxygenated by cytochrome P450 to hydroxy and epoxy fatty acids. Two major classes of hydroxy fatty acids are formed by hydroxylation of the omega-side chain and by hydroxylation of bisallylic methylene carbons. Bisallylic cytochrome P450-hydroxylases transform linoleic acid to 11-hydroxylinoleic acid, arachidonic acid to 13-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-tetraenoic acid, 10-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-tetraenoic acid and 7-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z-tetraenoic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid to 16-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-pent aenoic acid, 13-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-pent aenoic acid and 10-hydroxyeicosa-5Z,8Z,11Z,14Z,17Z-pent aenoic acid as major metabolites. The bisallylic hydroxy fatty acids are chemically unstable and decompose rapidly to cis-trans conjugated hydroxy fatty acids during acidic extractive isolation. Bisallylic hydroxylase activity appears to be augmented in microsomes induced by the synthetic glucocorticoid dexamethasone and by some other agents, but the P450 gene families of these hydroxylases have yet to be determined. The fatty acid epoxides, which are formed by cytochrome P450, are chemically stable, but are hydrolyzed to diols by soluble epoxide hydrolases. Epoxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids is a prominent pathway of metabolism in the liver and the renal cortex and epoxy-genase activity appears to be under homeostatic control in the kidney. Many arachidonate epoxygenases have been identified belonging to the CYP2C gene subfamily. Epoxygenases have also been found in the central nervous system, endocrine organs, the heart and endothelial cells. Epoxides of arachidonic acid have been found to exert pharmacological effects on many cells.

Abstract
(15S)-Hydroxy-(5Z,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetraenoic acid (15-HETE) suppresses in ionophore-A23187-stimulated human polymorphonuclear leucocytes (PMN) the conversion of exogenous arachidonic acid into leukotriene B(4) (LTB4) and (5S)-hydroxy-(6E,8Z,11Z,14Z)-eicosatetraenoic acid (5-HETE). However, contrary to earlier suggestions, 15-HETE is not a genuine 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor under these conditions, but rather suppresses the 5-lipoxygenation of arachidonic acid by switching-over of substrate utilization, as judged from a sizeable formation of labelled (5S,15S)-dihydroxy-(6E,8Z,11Z,13E)-eicosatetr aen oic acid (5,15-diHETE) from 15-[1(-14)C]HETE. Identical results were obtained with human recombinant 5-lipoxygenase. In PMN the formation of 5,15-diHETE is strongly stimulated by either hydroperoxypolyenoic fatty acids or arachidonic acid, suggesting a crucial role of the hydroperoxide tone of the cell. A comparison of a selection of hydroxypolyenoic fatty acids with respect to their capability of suppressing 5-lipoxygenation of arachidonic acid revealed that 15-mono-hydroxyeicosanoids throughout exhibit the highest inhibitory potencies, whereas the other HETEs, 5,15-diHETE as well as octadecanoids, are modest or poor inhibitors. The R and S enantiomers of 15-HETE do not differ from each other, excluding a receptor-like binding of the 15-hydroxy group.
