The effect of vitamin E on the lipid environment of rat hepatocyte membranes
Tocopherol is one of the known beneficial natural antioxidants ensuring the optimal level of functioning of mammalian organisms. Numerous in vitro and in vivo experiments have shown that the biological role of vitamin E is to prevent the development of ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Leukotriene mechanisms of allergic enterocolitis pathogenesis in young children
Purpose of the study was to determine the parameters of lipid mediators of allergic inflammation (cysteinyl leukotrienes C4, D4, E4) by enzyme immunoassay in serum, saliva, urine of young children with allergic enterocolitis.Materials and methods.

Cysteinyl-leukotrienes contribute to sputum eosinophil chemotactic activity in asthmatics [PDF]
peer reviewedBackground: Cysteinyl-leukotrienes are lipid derived mediators involved in asthma. They are able to stimulate eosinophil chemotaxis in vitro. Induced sputum from asthmatics has been shown to contain eosinophil chemotactic activity.

Cysteinyl leukotriene metabolism of human eosinophils in allergic disease
Eosinophils are multifaceted immune cells with diverse functions that enhance allergic inflammation. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (cys-LTs), mainly synthesized in eosinophils, are a class of inflammatory lipid mediators produced via multiple enzymatic ...

Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 is dispensable for osteoclast differentiation and bone resorption.
Cysteinyl leukotriene receptor 1 (CysLTR1) is a G protein-coupled receptor for the inflammatory lipid mediators cysteinyl leukotrienes, which are involved in smooth muscle constriction, vascular permeability, and macrophage chemokine release. The Cysltr1

Role of the route of leukotrienes in an experimental model of oral mucositis induced by 5-fluorouracil [PDF]
Purpose: To investigate the participation of cysteinyl leukotrienes in the pathophysiology of oral mucositis. Methods: Oral mucositis was induced in hamsters using 5-fluorouracil (5-FU; 60 and 40 mg/kg; i.p., on days 1 and 2, respectively, and with ...
