ENDOCANNABINOIDS AND EICOSAMOIDS: BIOSYNTHESIS AND INTERACTIONS WITH IMMUNE RESPONSE
The review is dedicated to modern concepts of arachidonic acid metabolites, i.e., endocannabinoids and eicosanoids, their biosynthetic pathways, cross-talk mechanisms and participation in immune response.

Eicosanoids are lipid mediators generated from arachidonic acid with pro- and anti-inflammatory properties. Despite these lipid mediators being known for decades, quantitative determination in biological samples is still challenging due to low abundance,

Study of the role of cytosolic phospholipase A2 alpha in eicosanoid generation and thymocyte maturation in the thymus. [PDF]
The thymus is a primary lymphoid organ, home of maturation and selection of thymocytes for generation of functional T-cells. Multiple factors are involved throughout the different stages of the maturation process to tightly regulate T-cell production ...

Leukotriene B4 limits the effectiveness of fish oil in an animal model of asthma
This study aimed to evaluate the levels of eicosanoids derived from arachidonic acid (ARA) in the lungs of asthmatic rats supplemented with fish oil. The present data gives insight into the action of fish oil in asthma, related to its inability to modify

Pleiotropic Functions of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenase-Derived Eicosanoids in Cancer
Eicosanoids are a class of functionally bioactive lipid mediators derived from the metabolism of long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) mediated by multiple enzymes of three main branches, including cyclooxygenases (COXs), lipoxygenases (LOXs ...

Eicosanoids, which mediate various physiological and pathophysiological processes, are mainly formed from C20 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) such as arachidonic acid (AA,20:4n-6) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA,20:5n - 3) through cyclooxygenases (COX)

Eicosanoids: physiology update and orthodontic implications
The eicosanoids are members of a group of substances comprising prostaglandins and Ieukotrienes which are released by a host of mechanical, thermal, bacterial and other insults and contribute importantly to the signs and genesis of inflammation (Brain ...
