Isoprostanes (iPs) are free radical-catalyzed products of arachidonic acid that reflect lipid peroxidation in vivo.

Abstract

Isoprostanes (iPs) are free radical-catalyzed products of arachidonic acid that reflect lipid peroxidation in vivo. Several iPs exert biological effects in vitro and may contribute to the functional consequences of oxidant stress. For example, iPF(2alpha)-III (8-iso PGF(2alpha)) and iPE(2)-III modulate platelet function and vascular tone. Although these effects are blocked by antagonists of the receptor (TP) for the cyclooxygenase product thromboxane A(2), it has been speculated that the iPs may activate a receptor related to, but distinct from, the TP.
