Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.

The leukotriene B₄/BLT₁ axis is a key determinant in susceptibility and resistance to histoplasmosis. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 The bioactive lipid mediator leukotriene B4 (LTB4) greatly enhances phagocyte antimicrobial functions against a myriad of pathogens. In murine histoplasmosis, inhibition of the LT-generating enzyme 5-lypoxigenase (5-LO) increases the susceptibility of ...

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology
Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023 Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Fluorescent leukotriene B4: potential applications
Journal of Lipid Research, 2005 Leukotriene B4 (LTB4) is a potent lipid mediator of inflammation that acts primarily via a seven-transmembrane-spanning, G-protein-coupled receptor denoted BLT1. Here, we describe the synthesis and characterization of fluorescent analogs of LTB4 that are

Design of benzimidazoles, benzoxazoles, benzothiazoles and thiazolopyridines as leukotriene A4 hydrolase inhibitors through 3D-QSAR, docking and molecular dynamics [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2023 Human leukotriene A4 hydrolase enzyme (LTA4H) catalyses the biotransformation of the inactive precursor leukotriene A4 (LTA4) to the bioactive Leukotriene B4 (LTB4), which causes many inflammatory responses in the human body.

Fish Oil in the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 1990 Patients with active ulcerative colitis have increased levels of leukotriene B4 in their rectal mucosa. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) competitively inhibits the cyclo-oxgenase pathway and reduces the formation of cyclo-oxygenase pathway products.

Is leukotriene B4 one of the keloid marker? a fibroblast keloid study
Dermatology Reports, 2019 Keloid pathogenesis occurs due to the duration of prolonged inflammatory phase and increased production of various growth factors such as TGF-β1 which may cause increasing fibroblast proliferation and collagen synthesis.
