The Role of Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids in Cardiac Remodeling. [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are metabolites of arachidonic acid by cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases, which include four regioisomers: 5,6-EET, 8,9-EET, 11,12-EET, and 14,15-EET.

CYP450 Epoxygenase Metabolites, Epoxyeicosatrienoic Acids, as Novel Anti-Inflammatory Mediators [PDF]
Inflammation plays a crucial role in the initiation and development of a wide range of systemic illnesses. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are derived from arachidonic acid (AA) metabolized by CYP450 epoxygenase (CYP450) and are subsequently hydrolyzed ...

Plasma epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and diabetes-related cardiovascular disease: The cardiovascular health study [PDF]
Summary: Background: Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are metabolites of arachidonic acid that may impact atherosclerosis, and animal experimental studies suggest EETs protect cardiac function. Plasma EETs are mostly esterified to phospholipids and part

Inside epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and cardiovascular disease. [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) generated from arachidonic acid through cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases have many biological functions. Importantly, CYP epoxygenase-derived EETs are involved in the maintenance of cardiovascular homeostasis.

Anti-inflammatory effects of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are generated by the activity of both selective and also more general cytochrome p450 (CYP) enzymes on arachidonic acid and inactivated largely by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH), which converts them to their ...

The role of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids in the cardiovascular system [PDF]
There is increasing evidence suggesting that epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) play an important role in cardioprotective mechanisms. These include regulating vascular tone, modulating inflammatory responses, improving cardiomyocyte function and reducing ischaemic damage, resulting in attenuation of animal models of cardiovascular risk factors.

Cyclooxygenase-derived proangiogenic metabolites of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids [PDF]
Significance This study furthers our understanding of epoxyeicosatrienoic acid metabolism by cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes as a physiologically relevant metabolic pathway, producing signaling molecules that are angiogenic. It explains, in part, why inhibiting the soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) in some systems is angiogenic whereas ...

Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids and glucose homeostasis in mice and men [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are formed from arachidonic acid by the action of P450 epoxygenases (CYP2C and CYP2J). Effects of EETs are limited by hydrolysis by soluble epoxide hydrolase to less active dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids. Studies in rodent models provide compelling evidence that epoxyeicosatrienoic acids exert favorable effects on ...

Aging, estrogen loss and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs). [PDF]
Inflammation is a key element in many cardiovascular diseases. Both estrogen loss, caused by menopause, and aging have inflammatory consequences. Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are anti-inflammatory molecules synthesized by various cytochrome P450 (Cyp)

The involvement of soluble epoxide hydrolase in the development of cardiovascular diseases through epoxyeicosatrienoic acids [PDF]
Arachidonic acid (AA) has three main metabolic pathways: the cycloxygenases (COXs) pathway, the lipoxygenases (LOXs) pathway, and the cytochrome P450s (CYPs) pathway. AA produces epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) through the CYPs pathway.
