Abstract excerpt
During inflammation, neutrophil- and monocyte-derived myeloperoxidase catalyzes the formation of hypochlorous acid, which can chlorinate tyrosine residues in proteins to form chlorotyrosine. However, little is known of the metabolism and disposition of chlorotyrosine in vivo. Following infusion of deuterium-labeled [D(4)]chlorotyrosine into Sprague-Dawley rats, the major urinary metabolites were identified by...
