| Abstract | Incorporation and conversion of icosapentaenoic acid (20:5, n - 3) by human polymorphonuclear leukocytes were studied in volunteers (n = 6) ingesting a normal Western diet supplemented with icosapentaenoic acid (approximately equal to 4 g daily). Ingestion of icosapentaenoic acid leads to formation of biologically less active leukotriene B5 (LTB5) from polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) stimulated with ionophore A23187. LTB5 was identified on HPLC by UV absorption and by GC/MS and showed a behavior identical to that of in vitro synthesized LTB5 produced by incubation of human PMNL with icosapentaenoic acid. The ratio of icosapentaenoic acid/arachidonic acid (20:4, n - 6) in cellular phospholipids increased from 0.045 during control to 0.28 after the supplemented period. LTB5 increased from undetectable values to 70.2 +/- 18.7 pmol of LTB5 per 10(7) PMNL during the experimental period. Synthesis of LTB4 did not change significantly (control, 218.8 +/- 89.1; icosapentaenoic acid-enriched diet, 253.6 +/- 18.7 pmol per 10(7) PMNL). The ratio of LTB4/LTB5 corresponded to the ratio of arachidonic acid/icosapentaenoic acid in PMNL phospholipids. Our findings prove that LTB5, which is 10 to 30 times less potent than LTB4 to cause aggregation, chemotaxis, and degranulation of PMNL, can be formed in vivo in man after dietary icosapentaenoic acid. This may modify the contribution of leukotrienes in processes in which these metabolites are of pathogenetic relevance. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
