TABLE 1

Epoxygenase activity in male and female kidney and liver microsomes The total epoxygenase activity of microsomes prepared from adult male and female kidneys and livers was determined as described under Materials and Methods. Values shown are means ± S.E. (n = 3–4 per group) and are expressed in picomoles of EET + dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid formed per milligram of microsomal protein per minute at 37° C.

Male 7.7 ± 0.6* 577 ± 74
Female 3.9 ± 0.2 598 ± 23
