Catabolism of leukotriene B5 in humans
Human neutrophils, enriched by dietary supplementation with eicosapentaenoic acid, form leukotriene (LT)B5 in addition to LTB4 upon stimulation. LTB5 is one order of magnitude less biologically active than the potent chemokinetic and chemoattractant LTB4.

Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid in Endurance Performance and Cardiovascular Function [PDF]
PURPOSE Fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA; 20:5 n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; 22:6 n-3). Consumption of EPA and DHA has been expected to improve fatigue recovery, endurance performance, antioxidant production,

Chronic Arachidonic Acid Administration Decreases Docosahexaenoic Acid- and Eicosapentaenoic Acid-Derived Metabolites in Kidneys of Aged Rats. [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (ARA) metabolites produced by cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase are important mediators maintaining physiological renal function. However, the effects of exogenous ARA on kidney function in vivo remain unknown.

Influence of eicosapentaenoic acid (20:5, n-3) on secretion of lipoproteins in CaCo-2 cells.
CaCo-2 cells, grown on filter membranes, were used to study the effects of fatty acids on cellular metabolism of triacylglycerol and phospholipids. The rate of triacylglycerol secretion was enhanced more than 2-fold, from 1 to 2 weeks after reaching ...

Evaluation of Plasma AA/DHA+EPA Ratio in Obese Romanian Children
The aim of the study was to evaluate the plasma profile of arachidonic acid (AA), docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), as well to analyze the relationship of Omega 6/Omega 3 ratio with anthropo-metric parameters and insulin ...

Inhibition of prostaglandin biosynthesis by eicosapentaenoic acid [PDF]
Eicosapentaenoic acid [20 : 5 (n-3)] is not oxidized by the purified cyclooxygenase from sheep vesicular glands in the conditions of low peroxide tone in which arachidonate [20 : 4 (n-6)] is rapidly oxygenated. When the level of peroxide in incubation mixtures is allowed to rise, there is a dramatic change in reactivity of the cyclooxygenase to react ...

The omega-3 fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid is required for normal alcohol response behaviors in C. elegans. [PDF]
Alcohol addiction is a widespread societal problem, for which there are few treatments. There are significant genetic and environmental influences on abuse liability, and understanding these factors will be important for the identification of susceptible
