Causal Pathways Linking Gut Microbiota, Serum Metabolites, and Meningioma Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Analysis. [PDF]
This Mendelian randomization analysis elucidates causal pathways linking gut microbiota and serum metabolites to meningioma. We identified specific risk factors and found that arachidonic acid potentially mediates the effect of CAG−873 sp001701165 on meningioma risk.

Mammalian lungs respond to inhaled particulates including nanoparticles by eliciting inflammation. The initiation and resolution of inflammation are tightly controlled by potent proinflammatory and pro‐resolving lipid mediators. Dysregulation of lipid mediator production and function contributes to failure of particle clearance and

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 ...

5‐lipoxygenase‐activating protein is an arachidonate binding protein [PDF]
5‐Lipoxygenase‐activating protein (FLAP) is an 18‐kDa integral membrane protein which is essential for cellular leukotriene (LT) synthesis, and is the target of LT biosynthesis inhibitors. However, the mechanism by which FLAP activates 5‐LO has not been determined.

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 ...

Ascorbic acid enhances the inhibitory effect of aspirin on neuronal cyclooxygenase-2-mediated prostaglandin E2 production. [PDF]
Inhibition of neuronal cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and hence prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) synthesis by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs has been suggested to protect neuronal cells in a variety of pathophysiological situations including Alzheimer's disease ...

5 S,15 S-Dihydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic Acid (5,15-diHpETE) as a Lipoxin Intermediate: Reactivity and Kinetics with Human Leukocyte 5-Lipoxygenase, Platelet 12-Lipoxygenase, and Reticulocyte 15-Lipoxygenase-1. [PDF]
The reaction of 5 S,15 S-dihydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid (5,15-diHpETE) with human 5-lipoxygenase (LOX), human platelet 12-LOX, and human reticulocyte 15-LOX-1 was investigated to determine the reactivity and relative rates of producing lipoxins (LXs).
