Methods are described for the quantification of various eicosanoids (cyclooxygenase products: 6-KETO, TXB2, PGE2, PGF2alpha, DHK; lipoxygenase products: 5-, 12-, 15-HETE, LTB4, LTC4, LTD4, LTE4) in menstrual blood collected by tampons. Samples were extracted with acidified ethanol. After purification by SEP-PACK C18 columns, the compounds were separated by reversed phase HPLC using a ternary gradient system. The eicosanoid concentrations of the fractionated eluents were measured by radioimmunoassay and corrected for recovery. 12-HETE was the most prominent metabolite of arachidonic acid in menstrual blood (mean: 1174 ng/g blood). With the exception of PGF2alpha and TXB2 (mean: 343 and 212 ng/g blood, respectively) other eicosanoids were detected in remarkable lower concentrations.
