The effect of Greek mountain tea extract and wheat germ extract on peripheral blood flow and eicosanoid metabolism in mammals [PDF]

open access: yesOpen Medicine
Polyphenols are a group of compounds identified as secondary metabolites of plants, with 8,000 types identified to date. Previous research findings have indicated the potential anti-inflammatory properties of polyphenols, with studies suggesting a ...

Red blood cell transfusion-related eicosanoid profiles in intensive care patients—A prospective, observational feasibility study

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2023
Introduction: Eicosanoids are bioactive lipids present in packed red blood cells (PRBCs), and might play a role in transfusion-related immunomodulation (TRIM).

Deciphering Complex Interactions in Bioactive Lipid Signaling

open access: yesMolecules, 2023
Lipids are usually viewed as metabolic fuel and structural membrane components. Yet, in recent years, different families of lipids able to act as authentic messengers between cells and/or intracellularly have been discovered. Such lipid signals have been

Dorsal switch protein 1 as a damage signal in insect gut immunity to activate dual oxidase via an eicosanoid, PGE2

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2022
Various microbiota including beneficial symbionts reside in the insect gut. Infections of pathogens cause dysregulation of the microflora and threaten insect survival. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been used in the gut immune responses, in which its

Plasma Oxylipins and Their Precursors Are Strongly Associated with COVID-19 Severity and with Immune Response Markers

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
COVID-19 is characterised by a dysregulated immune response, that involves signalling lipids acting as mediators of the inflammatory process along the innate and adaptive phases.

Consequences of altered eicosanoid patterns for nociceptive processing in mPGES-1-deficient mice [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2)-dependent prostaglandin (PG) E2 synthesis in the spinal cord plays a major role in the development of inflammatory hyperalgesia and allodynia. Microsomal PGE2 synthase-1 (mPGES-1) isomerizes COX-2-derived PGH2 to PGE2.

Eicosanoid release is increased by membrane destabilization and CFTR inhibition in Calu-3 cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2009
The antiinflammatory protein annexin-1 (ANXA1) and the adaptor S100A10 (p11), inhibit cytosolic phospholipase A2 (cPLA2alpha) by direct interaction. Since the latter is responsible for the cleavage of arachidonic acid at membrane phospholipids, all three

Prostanoid Metabolites as Biomarkers in Human Disease

open access: yesMetabolites, 2022
Prostaglandins (PGD2, PGE2, PGF2α), prostacyclin (PGI2), and thromboxane A2 (TXA2) together form the prostanoid family of lipid mediators. As autacoids, these five primary prostanoids propagate intercellular signals and are involved in many physiological

Characterization of eicosanoid synthesis in a genetic ablation model of ceramide kinase[S]

open access: yesJournal of Lipid Research, 2013
Multiple reports have demonstrated a role for ceramide kinase (CERK) in the production of eicosanoids. To examine the effects of the genetic ablation of CERK on eicosanoid synthesis, primary mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEFs) and macrophages were ...
