In the medullary segment of the thick ascending limb of the loop of Henle (mTALH), arachidonic acid (AA) is metabolized by a cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenase to products that affect ion transport. The linkage between changes in ion transport and AA metabolism in isolated cells of the mTALH was examined. AA produced a concentration-dependent inhibition of {sup 86}Rb uptake-an effect that was prevented by selective blockade of cytochrome P450 monooxygenases. Inhibition by cytochrome 450 blockade of the effect of AA on {sup 86}Rb uptake could be circumvented by addition of the principal products of AA metabolism in the mTALH.
