Leukotriene B4 induces airway hyperresponsiveness in dogs

open access: yes, 1985
We studied the effect of leukotriene B4 aerosols on airway responsiveness to inhaled acetylcholine aerosols and on the cellular components and cyclooxygenase metabolites in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in dogs.

Hypercholesterolemia Increases the Production of Leukotriene B4 in Neutrophils by Enhancing the Nuclear Localization of 5-Lipoxygenase

open access: yesCellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2014
Aims: Neutrophils can synthesize leukotriene B4 (LTB4) by activating the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO)signaling pathway. LTB4 is a pro-inflammatory mediator associated with the etiology and progression of atherosclerosis.

Effects of Add‐On Icosapent Ethyl With Standard Treatment on Functional Outcomes and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ischemic stroke, a major cause of mortality and long‐term disability, results from the abrupt cessation of cerebral blood flow due to vascular occlusion or rupture. Icosapent Ethyl (EPA‐EE), approved for hypertriglyceridemia, has anti‐inflammatory and antithrombotic properties that may lessen ischemic damage.

Biological properties of dihydro-leukotriene B4, an alternative leukotriene B4 metabolite

open access: yes, 1988
Dihydro-leukotriene B4 (a 5,12-dihydroxy-eicosatrienoic acid) has been shown to be the primary metabolite of leukotriene B4, (LTB4) in a variety of cells other than human polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs).

Pharmacological Characterization of Itch-Associated Response Induced by Repeated Application of Oxazolone in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2010
We investigated pharmacological characteristics of the itch-associated response to chronic dermatitis induced by 4-ethoxymethylene-2-phenyl-2-oxazolin-5-one (oxazolone) repeated application in mice.

SuFEx‐Enabled Reprogramming of Flavonoids for Selective α‐Glucosidase Covalent Inhibition

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Selective inhibition of intestinal α‐glucosidase remains limited by poor enzyme specificity and off‐target metabolic effects. Here, SuFEx click chemistry is used to reprogram natural flavonoids into covalent inhibitors with enhanced α‐glucosidase selectivity and controlled reactivity. This strategy enables effective regulation of carbohydrate digestion

Organic peroxides inhibit neutrophil leukotriene B4 biosynthesis

open access: yes, 1992
Leukotriene B4, an autacoid metabolite of arachidonic acid produced by polymorphonuclear neutrophils, induces chemokinesis, chemotaxis, and adhesion of these cells at sites of inflammation.

Selenomethionine Regulates the Arachidonic Acid Metabolism‐Ferroptosis‐Inflammation Axis to Ameliorate Colitis

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Selenomethionine can ameliorate arachidonic acid‐induced colonic injury through synergistic mechanisms, including alleviating inflammatory responses, improving barrier integrity, enhancing antioxidant capacity by upregulating selenoprotein expression, selectively regulating AA metabolism to reduce pro‐inflammatory oxylipins and promote the production ...
