Chilling injury mechanism in the immature oocytes of zebrafish (Danio rerio) [PDF]
Immature zebrafish oocytes are sensitive to chilling, and their survival is markedly reduced by exposure to 0°C. In the present study, we investigated the involvement of cold-sensitive channels and lipid mediators in chilling injury in immature zebrafish ...

Metabolomics reveals pro-inflammatory effects of 12R-HETE and ALOX12B in maternal allergic asthma [PDF]
Approximately 10% of pregnant women worldwide suffer from asthma, significantly increasing risks like preterm birth, low birth weight, and gestational hypertension. Current diagnostic methods are limited in early detection, underscoring the need for more

Genetic Variants in COX2 and ALOX Genes and Breast Cancer Risk in White and Black Women
COX and ALOX genes are involved in inflammatory processes and that may be related to breast cancer risk differentially between White and Black women. We evaluated distributions of genetic variants involved in COX2 and ALOX-related pathways and examined ...

Albumin redirects platelet eicosanoid metabolism toward 12(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid.
Albumin is a major determinant of eicosanoid formation, affecting autacoids important in cell-cell interactions. We delineated three mechanisms by which albumin controlled platelet eicosanoid formation: 1) Albumin diverted free arachidonate toward 12 ...

Oxidative modification of human lipoproteins by lipoxygenases of different positional specificities
Cellular lipoxygenases have been implicated in foam cell formation during the early stages of atherogenesis. We studied the interaction of lipoxygenases of different positional specificities with human lipoproteins and found that the arachidonate 15 ...
