1. Regulatory properties of lipoxygenase activity in rat brain cytosol were studied using linoleic acid (LA) as a substrate. 2. A change in the absorbance at 234 nm was biphasic when a mixture of LA and pre-formed hydroperoxide (LA-OOH) was incubated with freshly isolated native brain cytosol. Initially, a rapid depletion of LA-OOH was observed with a concomitant formation of LA-oxo compounds. This phase was followed by LA dioxygenation. 3. Both hydroperoxidase and dioxygenase activities of lipoxygenase were inhibited by micromolar concentrations of classic lipoxygenase inhibitors (phenidone, 5,8,11-eicosatriynoic acid and nordihydroguaiaretic acid). 4. The dioxygenase activity in dialysed cytsool was stimulated by nanomolar concentrations of H2O2 and micromolar concentrations of LA-OOH and it was inhibited by serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine (IC50 25-43 microM).
