Hemodialysis and erythrocyte epoxy fatty acids.

ABSTRACT: Fatty acid products derived from cytochromes P450 (CYP) monooxygenase and lipoxygenase (LOX)/CYP ω/(ω-1)-hydroxylase pathways are a superclass of lipid mediators with potent bioactivities. Whether or not the chronic kidney disease (CKD) and hemodialysis treatments performed on end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients affect RBC epoxy fatty acids profiles remains unknown. Measuring the products solely in plasma is suboptimal. Since such determinations invariably ignore red blood cells (RBCs) that make up 3 kg of the circulating blood. RBCs are potential reservoirs for epoxy fatty acids that regulate cardiovascular function. We studied 15 healthy persons and 15 ESRD patients undergoing regular hemodialysis treatments. We measured epoxides derived from CYP monooxygenase and metabolites derived
