Acute Hypercapnia/Ischemia Alters the Esterification of Arachidonic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid Epoxide Metabolites in Rat Brain Neutral Lipids. [PDF]
In the brain, approximately 90% of oxylipins are esterified to lipids. However, the significance of this esterification process is not known. In the present study, we (1) validated an aminopropyl solid phase extraction (SPE) method for separating ...

Regioselective Dehydration of Sugar Thioacetals under Mild Conditions [PDF]
Sugars are abundant in waste biomass, making them sustainable chiral building blocks for organic synthesis. The demand for chiral saturated heterocyclic rings for pharmaceutical applications is increasing as they provide well-defined three-dimensional ...

Generation of unique mono-hydroxy-eicosatetraenoic acids from arachidonic acid by human neutrophils. [PDF]
Incubation of [3H]arachidonic acid with the 17,000-g supernatant from homogenates of human neutrophils in the presence of indomethacin generated the unique metabolites 9-OH-5,7,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid (9-HETE) and 8-HETE, in addition to 12-HETE, 11 ...

The new calcium antagonist lercanidipine and its enantiomers affect major processes of atherogenesis in vitro: is calcium entry involved? [PDF]
Atherosclerosis results from multiple factors and involves several mechanisms, including endothelial monocyte and smooth muscle cell (SMC) changes, cholesterol accumulation, plaque rupture and thromboembolism.

Eicosanoids containing a 12-hydroxyl group preceded by at least two conjugated double bonds are metabolized to 10,11-dihydro and 10,11-dihydro-12-oxo products by porcine polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL) (Wainwright, S. L., Falck, J. R., Yadagiri, P., and Powell, W. S. (1990) Biochemistry 29, 10126-10135). These 10,11-dihydro metabolites could either

Oxylipin metabolism is controlled by mitochondrial β-oxidation during bacterial inflammation [PDF]
Oxylipins are potent biological mediators requiring strict control, but how they are removed en masse during infection and inflammation is unknown. Here we show that lipopolysaccharide (LPS) dynamically enhances oxylipin removal via mitochondrial β ...

Increased leukotriene C 4 and vasogenic edema surrounding brain tumors in humans [PDF]
Leukotrines are pharmacologically active compounds that promote vascular permeability. In this study we sought to determine whether tissue leukotriene–like immunoreactivity was increased in intracranial tumors associated with peritumoral edema.

The metabolomics of psoriatic disease. [PDF]
Metabolomics is an emerging new "omics" field involving the systematic analysis of the metabolites in a biologic system. These metabolites provide a molecular snapshot of cellular activity and are thus important for understanding the functional changes ...
