Description	20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE) is a cytochrome P450-derived arachidonic acid metabolite that has been shown to increase smooth muscle contractions and proliferation, stimulate endothelial dysfunction and activation and promote hypertension. in vitro: Addition of 20-HETE to the bath (1-100 nM), reduced the frequency of opening of the large-conductance Ca(2+)-activated K+ channel recorded using cell-attached patches on VSM [1]. In kidney, 20-HETE induces diuresis by inhibiting Na+-K+-ATPase in proximal tubules and Na+/K+/Cl+ cotransporter in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop. in vivo: In Cyp4a14(-/-) mice, which display androgen-driven and 20-HETE-dependent hypertension, treatment with20-HETE antagonist abolished remodeling of renal resistance arteries measured as media thickness (24±1 vs. 15±1μm) and M/L (0.29±0.03 vs. 0.17±0.01) [4]. The transgenic mice had overexpressed hepatic CYP4F2, high hepatic 20-HETE and fasting plasma glucose levels but normal insulin level. T
