Inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase in endotoxin induced pig lung injury [PDF]
Pharmacological inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase has been shown to attenuate lung injury development in rodents exposed to bacterial lipopolysaccharide. To investigate if these effects can be reproduced in larger animals, we tested soluble epoxide

Characterization of an isobutylene epoxide hydrolase (IbcK) from the isobutylene-catabolizing bacterium Mycolicibacterium sp. ELW1 [PDF]
Isobutylene (IB) is produced on a large scale by the petrochemical industry and is metabolized by the aerobic alkene-metabolizing bacterium Mycolicibacterium sp. ELW1. The initial metabolite of IB catabolism by this bacterium is proposed to be 2-methyl-1,

Metabolic alteration in oxylipins and endocannabinoids point to an important role for soluble epoxide hydrolase and inflammation in Alzheimer’s disease—finding from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative [PDF]
Mounting evidence implicates inflammation as a key factor in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) development. We previously identified pro-inflammatory soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) metabolites to be elevated in plasma and CSF of AD participants and to be ...

Visualization of a Covalent Intermediate between Microsomal Epoxide Hydrolase, but not Cholesterol Epoxide Hydrolase, and their Substrates [PDF]
Mammalian soluble and microsomal epoxide hydrolases have been proposed to belong to the family of αlβ‐hydrolase‐fold enzymes. These enzymes hydrolyse their substrates by a catalytic triad, with the first step of the enzymatic reaction being the formation of a covalent enzyme‐substrate ester. In the present paper, we describe the direct visualization of

Generation and characterization of epoxide hydrolase 3 (EPHX3)-deficient mice.
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases metabolize arachidonic acid into epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which play an important role in blood pressure regulation, protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury, angiogenesis, and inflammation.

Background Alzheimer’s disease, cardiovascular disease, and other cardiometabolic disorders may share inflammatory origins. Lipid mediators, including oxylipins, endocannabinoids, bile acids, and steroids, regulate inflammation, energy metabolism, and ...

Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Atherosclerosis [PDF]
Like many eicosanoids, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) have multiple biological functions, including reduction of blood pressure, inflammation, and atherosclerosis in multiple species. Hydration of EETs by the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) is the major route of their degradation to the less bioactive diols.
