Chronic N-methyl-d-aspartate administration increases the turnover of arachidonic acid within brain phospholipids of the unanesthetized rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Whereas antibipolar drug administration to rats reduces brain arachidonic acid turnover, excessive N-methyl-d-aspartate (NMDA) signaling is thought to contribute to bipolar disorder symptoms and may increase arachidonic acid turnover in rat brain ...

Methyl jasmonate and cis jasmone induce apoptosis in Pc-3 and LncaP prostate cancer lines

, 2005
Methyl jasmonate (MJ) and cis jasmone (CJ), lipid-derived plant stress hormones, were studied for their effects against both hormone dependent (LNCaP) and hormone independent (PC3) human prostate cancer cell lines. Both 2 mM MJ or CJ inhibited the growth

Arachidonic acid as a bioactive molecule [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2001
Arachidonic acid is a slippery molecule that owes its mobility to its four cis double bonds. These are the source of its flexibility, keeping the pure fatty acid liquid, even at subzero temperatures, and helping to give mammalian cell membranes their correct fluidity at physiological temperatures.

Coactosin‐Like Protein Reduces Prostaglandin D2 Production in Alveolar Macrophages and Alleviates Allergic Airway Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Coactosin‐like protein inhibits prostaglandin D₂ (PGD2) secretion by modulating alveolar macrophage polarization, thereby suppressing activation of the PGD2 receptor CRTH2 in Th2‐associated immune cells and alleviating allergic airway inflammation.

Metabolism of arachidonic acid-l-14C in the rat

Journal of Lipid Research, 1965
The metabolism of arachidonic acid-1-14C has been studied in the rat. The acid was fed as a component of randomly rearranged soybean oil; its absorption was greater than 96%.

Membrane Lipid Derivatives: Roles of Arachidonic Acid and Its Metabolites in Pancreatic Physiology and Pathophysiology

Molecules, 2023
One of the most important constituents of the cell membrane is arachidonic acid. Lipids forming part of the cellular membrane can be metabolized in a variety of cellular types of the body by a family of enzymes termed phospholipases: phospholipase A2 ...

Inhibitory effect of calotropis gigantea extract on ovalbumin-induced airway inflammation and arachidonic acid induced inflammation in a murine model of asthma [PDF]

, 2011
The root of Calotropis gigantea has been reported as a traditional folkloric medicine in treatment of asthma in the Indian literature. Root contain α-and β-amyrin are reported to possess anti-lipoxygenase activity.

Red Blood Cell Membrane Lipidomics: Potential Biomarkers Detecting Method for Plasma Volume Overload and Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events in Chronic Heart Failure Patients

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A novel RBC indicator, ESI, is better than the traditional RBC indicators and is associated with CHF prevalence and in‐hospital death. RBC membrane lipidomics, Cer 18:0;O2/16:0, and LPE 18:0, are associated with plasma volume overload and MACE in CHF patients, but these plasma lipids could not.
