Endogenous Epoxygenases Are Modulators of Monocyte/Macrophage Activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Arachidonic acid is metabolized through three major metabolic pathways, the cyclooxygenase, lipoxygenase and CYP450 enzyme systems. Unlike cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenases, the role of CYP450 epoxygenases in monocyte/macrophage-mediated ...

Polyunsaturated fatty acids and inflammation

open access: yesOléagineux, Corps gras, Lipides, 2004
The n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid arachidonic acid gives rise to the eicosanoid family of inflammatory mediators (prostaglandins, leukotrienes and related metabolites) and through these regulates the activities of inflammatory cells, the production of ...

Role of triglycerides in endothelial cell arachidonic acid metabolism.

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1983
Arachidonic acid was incorporated into triglycerides by cultured bovine endothelial cells in a time- and concentration-dependent manner. At 75 microM or higher, more arachidonic acid was incorporated into triglycerides than into phospholipids.

Moss cell cultures as sources of arachidonic and eicosapentaenoic acids [PDF]

open access: yes, 1986
Lipid classes from tissue cultures of the moss Leptobryum pyriforme (Hedw.) Wils. were analyzed. In the total lipid fraction, this species contained 20% arachidonic acid and about 7% eicosapentaenoic acid.

Inverse Association between trans Isomeric and Long-Chain Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids in Pregnant Women and Their Newborns: Data from Three European Countries [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: trans unsaturated fatty acids are thought to interfere with essential fatty acid metabolism. To extend our knowledge of this phenomenon, we investigated the relationship between trans isomeric and long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

Uptake of long chain fatty acids by human placental choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells: role of plasma membrane fatty acid-binding protein

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 1997
In order to understand the mechanisms by which fatty acids are taken up by the placenta, the uptake of oleic, linoleic, arachidonic, and docosahexaenoic acids by cultured human placental choriocarcinoma (BeWo) cells was examined.

Dietary arachidonic acid increases deleterious effects of amyloid-β oligomers on learning abilities and expression of AMPA receptors: putative role of the ACSL4-cPLA2 balance

open access: yesAlzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2017
Background Polyunsaturated fatty acids play a crucial role in neuronal function, and the modification of these compounds in the brain could have an impact on neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease.

Arachidonic Acid in Human Milk [PDF]

open access: yesNutrients, 2020
Breastfeeding is universally recommended as the optimal choice of infant feeding and consequently human milk has been extensively investigated to unravel its unique nutrient profile. The human milk lipid composition is unique and supplies specifically long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), in particular, arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n–6) and ...

Inhibition of the Nicotinic Ion Channel by Arachidonic Acid and Other Unsaturated Fatty, Acids in Chromaffin Cells from Bovine Adrenal Medulla

open access: yesCHIMIA, 1991
The effects of arachidonic and other cis-unsaturated fatty acids were investigated in cultured chromaffin cells from bovine adrenal medulla with respect to Ca2+ influx and secretion of catecholamines.

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

open access: yesJournal 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%.
