Abstract

Among a number of racemic eicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs) investigated, 15-R/S HETE and 11-R/S-HETE were the only ones that enormously potentiated the chronotropic action of isoprenaline on neonatal rat heart myocytes in rocked culture. The effect of the 15-R/S-HETE was exclusively due to the S isomer.
