Candida albicans and Pseudomonas aeruginosa interaction, with focus on the role of eicosanoids
Candida albicans is commonly found in mixed infections with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, especially in the lungs of cystic fibrosis patients. Both of these opportunistic pathogens are able to form resistant biofilms and frequently infect immunocompromised ...

Distinct eicosanoid patterns in severe recalcitrant nasal polyposis
BACKGROUND: Although altered eicosanoid levels are related to disease severity in chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP), identifying patients prone to recurrent NPs is still difficult.

Lipid metabolism plays a complex and dynamic role in host-pathogen interaction during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. While bacterial lipid metabolism is key to the success of the pathogen, the host also offers a lipid rich environment in the form ...

Activated mast cells are a major source of the eicosanoids PGD(2) and leukotriene C(4) (LTC(4)), which contribute to allergic responses. These eicosanoids are produced following the ERK1/2-dependent activation of cytosolic phospholipase A(2), thus ...

Total synthesis of the endogenous inflammation resolving lipid resolvin D2 using a common lynchpin
The total synthesis of the endogenous inflammation resolving eicosanoid resolvin D2 (1) is described. The key steps involved a Wittig reaction between aldehyde 5 and the ylide derived from phosphonium salt 6 to give enyne 17 and condensation of the same ...

Prostanoid Metabolites as Biomarkers in Human Disease
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

Outlining eicosanoid biosynthesis in the crustacean Daphnia [PDF]
Background: Eicosanoids are biologically active, oxygenated metabolites of three C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids. They act as signalling molecules within the autocrine or paracrine system in both vertebrates and invertebrates mainly functioning as ...

Eicosanoids are oxidative derivatives of arachidonic acid. When produced in excessive amounts, many are proinflammatory and/or prothrombotic agents. N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) have been used to attenuate tissue arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4 n-6)
