Lipid droplets and lipid mediators in viral infection and immunity [PDF]
AbstractLipid droplets (LDs) contribute to key pathways important for the physiology and pathophysiology of cells. In a homeostatic view, LDs regulate the storage of neutral lipids, protein sequestration, removal of toxic lipids and cellular communication; however, recent advancements in the field show these organelles as essential for various cellular

Eosinophil Recruitment and Activation: The Role of Lipid Mediators
Eosinophils are effector cells that migrate toward several mediators released at inflammatory sites to perform their multiple functions. The mechanisms driving eosinophil selective accumulation in sites of allergic inflammation are well established and ...

Linoleate-Rich Safflower Oil Diet Increases Linoleate-Derived Bioactive Lipid Mediators in Plasma, and Brown and White Adipose Depots of Healthy Mice [PDF]
Polyunsaturated fats are energy substrates and precursors to the biosynthesis of lipid mediators of cellular processes. Adipose tissue not only provides energy storage, but influences whole-body energy metabolism through endocrine functions.

The roles of lipid mediators in type I hypersensitivity
Type I hypersensitivity is an immediate immune reaction that involves IgE-mediated activation of mast cells. Activated mast cells release chemical mediators, such as histamine and lipid mediators, which cause allergic reactions.

Associations between Plasma Lipid Mediators and Chronic Daily Headache Outcomes in Patients Randomized to a Low Linoleic Acid Diet with or without Added Omega-3 Fatty Acids [PDF]
A previous report showed that 12-week lowering of dietary omega-6 linoleic acid (LA) coupled with increased omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) intake (H3-L6 diet) reduced headache frequency and improved quality of life in patients with chronic ...

Host Lipid Mediators in Leprosy: The Hypothesized Contributions to Pathogenesis
The spectrum of clinical forms observed in leprosy and its pathogenesis are dictated by the host’s immune response against Mycobacterium leprae, the etiological agent of leprosy.

Docosahexaenoic Acid Increases the Pro-Resolving Brain Lipid Mediators of Inflammation in Rat Pups Prenatally Exposed to Alcohol [PDF]
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD/FAS) is a chronic inflammatory process of the fetal brain induced by alcohol and mediated by pro-inflammatory (PILM) and pro-resolving (PRLM) lipid mediators of inflammation.

A mitochondrial pathway for biosynthesis of lipid mediators [PDF]
The central role of mitochondria in metabolic pathways and in cell-death mechanisms requires sophisticated signalling systems. Essential in this signalling process is an array of lipid mediators derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids. However, the molecular machinery for the production of oxygenated polyunsaturated fatty acids is localized in the ...
