“As arachidonic acid was found to be capable of inducing a fast, transient rise in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, this explains, at least partly, its ability to induce the Ca2+-dependent formation of LTC4.”
“At 10 micrograms/ml of AA , both LTC4 and LTB4 generation significantly increased to 114.2 +/- 5.3% and 129.0 +/- 9.5% of control, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)”

“As arachidonic acid was found to be capable of inducing a fast, transient rise in the cytosolic free Ca2+ concentration, this explains at least partly its ability to induce the Ca2+-dependent formation of leukotriene C4.”
“In addition, the accumulation of LTC4 and B4 in brain slices incubated in the presence of the Ca++ ionophore A23187 and arachidonic acid , was reduced in samples obtained from pretreated rats.”
