Description

Dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA) is one of the 20-carbon fatty acids that can be metabolized to prostaglandins and thromboxanes (TXs) by cyclooxygenases 1 and 2 (COX-1/COX-2).¹ The result of this metabolism in the human platelet yields TXB₁. TXB₁ is produced in small amounts when DGLA is added to washed suspensions of human platelets, while the major metabolism of this 1-series fatty acid is via 12-lipoxygenase.² However, when co-incubated with amounts of ethanol often found in intoxicated humans, the metabolism of DGLA shifts to an enhanced production of TXB₁.² Urinary TXB₁ or its metabolites may thus be a specific biomarker of prior ethanol abuse.

Definition

ChEBI: Thromboxane B1 is a thromboxane B that is thromboxane B2 in which the double bond at position 5-6 has been reduced to a single bond. It is a thromboxanes B and a monocarboxylic acid.
