cis-Polyunsaturated fatty acids induce high levels of superoxide production by human neutrophils.
Open accessAbstract
Arachidonate stimulates the production of large quantities of superoxide by human neutrophils: 93.8 +/- 12.5 S.D. nmol of O2(-)/min/10(7) cells. This rate is comparable to that observed with the most effective neutrophil-stimulating agents previously reported. Other cis-unsaturated fatty acids are also capable of eliciting this response, the order of effectiveness being: arachidonate greater than gamma-linolenate greater than linoleate greater than oleate. Linolelaidate, myristate, and palmitate are ineffective. These data are discussed in relation to recent reports concerning the oxidation of arachidonic acid by human neutrophils and by a cell-free system that generates superoxide and hydrogen peroxide.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
