Electroacupuncture Ameliorates Scopolamine-Induced Dry Eye Disease in Mice by Restoring Lacrimal Gland Lipid Homeostasis and Reducing IL-1β/IL-18 Expression. [PDF]
Dry eye disease (DED) can lead to severe eye discomfort, which manifests as dryness, pain and decreased vision, and significantly affects daily life. This study elucidated the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) intervention on DED and clarified its potential mechanisms through changes in lacrimal gland lipid metabolism and inflammation.

A Linchpin Approach to Unsaturated Fatty Acids: 11,12-Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acid and 11S,12S-Dihydroxyeicosatrienoic Acid Ethyl Esters [PDF]
[Chemical reaction: See text] A "linchpin" coupling strategy is described for the construction of long-chain fatty acid metabolites. This strategy led to a short synthesis of the ethyl esters of both 11,12-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) and 11S,12S-dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acid (DHET).

Background: Exposure to ambient air particulate matter (PM) is a risk factor for cardiometabolic diseases. The knowledge of the underlying mechanisms is still evolving, but systemic inflammation and oxidative stress are central to the ability of PM to ...

Aging, estrogen loss and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). [PDF]
Inflammation is a key element in many cardiovascular diseases. Both estrogen loss, caused by menopause, and aging have inflammatory consequences. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are anti-inflammatory molecules synthesized by various cytochrome P450 (Cyp)

Monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1)-induced monocyte chemotaxis is a major event in inflammatory disease. Our prior studies have demonstrated that MCP-1-dependent chemotaxis requires release of arachidonic acid (AA) by activated cytosolic ...

Arachidonic acid cytochrome P450 epoxygenase pathway
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases convert arachidonic acid to four epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) regioisomers, 5,6-, 8,9-, 11,12-, and 14,15-EET, that function as autacrine and paracrine mediators.

Reorganization of Innate Immune Cell Lipid Profiles by Bioinspired Meroterpenoids to Limit Inflammation. [PDF]
Resolution pharmacology is an emerging strategy to tackle inflammatory pathologies. Bioinspired meroterpenoids induce a lipid mediator class switch toward inflammation resolution in vitro and in vivo by targeting key nodes in lipid mediator biosynthesis and neutral lipid dynamics.

Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids and/or Their Metabolites Promote Hypoxic Response of Cells
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), including 5,6-EET, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET, are produced by cytochrome P450 (P450) such as CYP2C8 and 2C9; and they are hydrolyzed to dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs) by epoxide hydrolase.

Flavonoids as Modulators of Lipid Mediator Signaling: A Narrative Review on Mechanisms, Current Evidence, and Gaps in the Literature. [PDF]
Flavonoid consumption may modulate phospholipase activity and COX‐, LOX‐, and CYP450‐dependent oxylipin biosynthesis, reshaping lipid mediator networks. Emerging evidence suggests these shifts may favor inflammatory resolution over propagation, with implications for metabolic, cardiovascular, and neuroinflammatory disease risk.
