Summary Na arachidonate (NaA) enhanced the resting basal tone of isolated coronary arteries from diabetic dogs and depressed it in coronary arteries from normal controls. Inhibitors of thromboxane A2 biosynthesis and of lipoxygenases abolished the vasoconstrictor effect of NaA on diabetic arteries, whereas inhibitors of cyclooxygenase activity and PGI2 biosynthesis blocked the vasodilating action of NaA on normal arteries.
