Hemodialysis and Plasma Oxylipin Biotransformation in Peripheral Tissue.

ABSTRACT: Factors causing the increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients are largely unknown. Oxylipins are a superclass of lipid mediators with potent bioactivities produced from oxygenation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. We previously assessed the impact of HD on oxylipins in arterial blood plasma and found that HD increases several oxylipins. To study the phenomenon further, we now evaluated the differences in arterial and venous blood oxylipins from patients undergoing HD. We collected arterial and venous blood samples in upper extremities from 12 end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients before and after HD and measured oxylipins in plasma by LC-MS/MS tandem mass spectrometry. Comparison between cytochrome P450 (CYP), lipoxygenase (LOX), and LOX/CYP ω/(ω-1)-hy
