Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase and transacetylase activities in human aorta and mammary artery*

Platelet-activating factor acetylhydrolase and transacetylase activities in human aorta and mammary artery*

Platelet-activating factor (PAF), the potent phospholipid mediator of inflammation, is involved in atherosclerosis. Platelet-activating factor-acetylhydrolase (PAF-AH), the enzyme that inactivates PAF bioactivity, possesses both acetylhydrolase and transacetylase activities. In the present study, we...
