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 ...

Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-dependent eicosanoids comprise epoxy- and hydroxy-metabolites of long-chain PUFAs (LC-PUFAs). In mammals, CYP eicosanoids contribute to the regulation of cardiovascular and renal function. Caenorhabditis elegans produces a large set

Expression of mRNA for phospholipase A(2), cyclooxygenases, and lipoxygenases in cultured human umbilical vascular endothelial and smooth muscle cells and in biopsies from umbilical arteries and veins [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (AA) is released by phospholipase A(2) (PLA(2)) and then converted into vasoactive and inflammatory eicosanoids by cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX).

The lipid droplet inhibitor (LDI), templated with large‐pore mesoporous silica and functionalized with PKCα C1A and lipase, targets lipid degradation in fatty liver. The LDI maintains stable association with lipid droplets, thereby suppressing their formation and expansion.

Activation and Regulation of Cellular Eicosanoid Biosynthesis
There is a growing appreciation for the wide variety of physiological responses that are regulated by lipid messengers. One particular group of lipid messengers, the eicosanoids, plays a central role in regulating immune and inflammatory responses in a ...

The Role of Eicosanoids in Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders known. Estimates from the Alzheimer’s Association suggest that there are currently 5.8 million Americans living with the disease and that this will rise to 14 million by 2050.

The study shows that noncardiac surgical inflammation rapidly disrupts HDL function and cholesterol efflux in mice and human patients. Impaired reverse cholesterol transport after surgery drives rapid lipid accumulation, NETosis, and apoptosis within atherosclerotic plaques.

Background Numerous studies have investigated the possible involvement of eicosanoids, lysophospholipids, and sphingolipids in cancer. We considered that comprehensive measurement of these lipid mediators might provide a better understanding of their ...
