Abstract excerpt
Genetic variations in cytochrome P450 4A11 (CYP4A11) contributes to inter-individual variability in the metabolism of fatty acids such as arachidonic acid. CYP4A11 metabolizes arachidonic acid to 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), which is important for the regulation of blood pressure. Polymorphisms in CYP4A11 are associated with susceptibility to hypertension. In this study, we evaluated the in vitro...
