Hemodynamic role of arachidonate 12- and 5-lipoxygenases in nephrotoxic serum nephritis
The role of arachidonate 12- and 5-lipoxygenation eicosanoids in mediating acute changes in renal hemodynamics was assessed in nephrotoxic serum nephritis (NSN) in the rat. Following a single intravenous injection of nephrotoxic serum (NTS), significant decrements in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal blood flow (RBF) occurred at one hour, and ...

ALOXE3 missense variant in a Chihuahua with autosomal recessive ichthyosis
Abstract Ichthyoses are a heterogenous group of inherited disorders that are characterized by excessive scale formation on the skin. We investigated a Chihuahua with severe scaling since age 12 weeks. The scaling was generalized and involved the entire body and legs. The paw pads were mildly hyperkeratotic.

Fatty acids in veterinary medicine and research [PDF]
Fatty acid regulation is an essential process for all animals. A number of studies have shown that diet affects the levels/availability of fatty acids in the body but increasingly evidence shows that disease states can alter the amounts within the body ...

AbstractAmong the first steps in inflammation is the conversion of arachidonic acid (AA) stored in the cell membranes into leukotrienes. This occurs mainly in leukocytes and depends on the interaction of two proteins: 5-lipoxygenase (5LO), stored away from the nuclear membranes until use and 5-lipoxygenase activating protein (FLAP), a transmembrane ...

Functional characterization of a novel arachidonic acid 12S-lipoxygenase in the halotolerant bacterium Myxococcus fulvus exhibiting complex social living patterns [PDF]
Lipoxygenases are lipid peroxidizing enzymes, which frequently occur in higher plants and mammals. These enzymes are also expressed in lower multicellular organisms but here they are not widely distributed.
