Linoleic acid (C18:2omega6) (10 microM) depressed ACh-evoked whole-cell membrane currents followed by potentiation of the currents in Xenopus oocytes expressing Torpedo ACh receptors. The potentiation was never obtained with linoleoylamide (10 microM), which contains CONH2 instead of COOH on linoleic acid. In the assay of protein kinase C (PKC) using a reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography, linoleic acid activated PKC-epsilon but linoleoylamide otherwise had no effect on it.
