20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a cytochrome P450 metabolite of arachidonic acid that regulates vascular function and sodium homeostasis. Studies showing an association between 20-HETE excretion, raised BMI, and oxidative stress suggest that 20-HETE may be important in the development of cardiovascular disease in the metabolic syndrome (MetS). We investigated whether 20-HETE and F(2)-isoprostanes (markers of oxidative stress) were altered in the MetS before and after weight reduction. A case-controlled comparison of 30 participants with the MetS and matched controls showed that plasma and urinary 20-HETE and F(2)-isoprostanes were significantly elevated in the MetS group. There was a significant gender x group interaction such that women with the MetS had higher urinary 20-HETE and F(2)-isoprostanes compared to controls (p<0.0001). In a randomized controlled trial, 42 participants with the MetS were assigned to 16 weeks of weight maintenance or a 12-week weight-loss program followed by 4 weeks weight stabilization. Relative to the weight-maintenance group, a 4-kg loss in weight resulted in a 2-mm Hg fall in blood pressure (BP) but did not alter urinary or plasma 20-HETE or F(2)-isoprostanes. 20-HETE and oxidative stress may be important mediators of cardiovascular disease risk in the MetS. Although a 4% reduction in body weight reduced BP, there were no changes in plasma or urinary 20-HETE or F(2)-isoprostanes.

Background: Cardiovascular effects of alcohol consumption may be influenced by both pro- and anti-inflammatory mechanisms. We previously showed that chronic alcohol consumption increased blood pressure (BP), oxidative stress, and 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), a vasoconstrictor and pro-inflammatory eicosanoid synthesized by cytochrome P450 (CYP450) enzymes from arachidonic acid. This study in men examined the effect of consuming red wine (RW) on BP in relation to changes in 20-HETE, oxidative stress (F -isoprostanes), markers of inflammation, anti-inflammatory CYP450 epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), and specialized pro-resolving mediators of inflammation (SPMs) derived from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Background: Oxidized-HDL (OX-HDL) has been reported to increase coronary events in obese patients; however, OX-HDL has not been studied in subjects with the metabolic syndrome. A high body mass index (BMI) correlates positively with higher levels of metabolic syndrome biomarkers including vasoconstrictors and adipokines. We hypothesize that a subject with a high BMI would present with higher levels of OX-HDL, 20-HETE and Angiotensin II (Ang II) with a reciprocal reduction in serum adiponectin.

Article Synopsis
- The metabolism of arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 produces 20-HETE, which plays a role in regulating blood pressure, but the impact of n-3 fatty acids on 20-HETE has not been explored before.
- A study involving patients with chronic kidney disease found that n-3 fatty acids significantly decreased both plasma 20-HETE and F2-isoprostanes, while coenzyme Q10 had no effect.
- The findings suggest that n-3 fatty acid supplementation may lower blood pressure by reducing plasma 20-HETE levels, offering a potential explanation for its beneficial effects in managing blood pressure in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Microbubble-mediated sonoporation amplified lipid peroxidation of Jurkat cells.

School of Biological Sciences, The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong. Electronic address:
Sonoporation is a developing technique used in drug delivery for cancer cells. Low frequency ultrasound is used to trigger the cavitation of microbubbles to puncture the cell membrane, and during this process, lipid metabolism becomes disrupted. In this study, cell viability and the generation of specific oxidized lipid products were assessed in Jurkat cells before and after sonoporation.

Free radical products including reactive oxygen species are potent to oxidize lipids and reliable measurements have been established mostly in human and rodent. To date, robust biomarkers were not used to assess the peroxidation in marine fish. The changes of oxidized lipid products from polyunsaturated fatty acids and cholesterol were assessed after exposure of H(2)O(2) to fish (medaka).
