  • Values indicated are mean ± SEM (N = 4). Control specific activities (shown as 100 relative activity) towards 4-ABP for SLO and HTPLO were 350 ± 41 nmoles of 4-ABP depleted/min/nmole of SLO and 45 ± 6 nmoles of 4-ABP depleted/min/mg protein, respectively.

  • Reaction mixture (final volume 1 ml) contained 75 pmoles of SLO or 80 μg HTPLO, 50 μM 4-ABP, 2 mM linoleic acid, and indicated concentration of inhibitors in 50 mM Tris buffer, pH 8.5 and pH 7.4, respectively.

  • All values observed in the presence of inhibitors tested are significantly less than the respective control (p < 0.05), based on ANOVA followed by Fisher’s LSD test.
