Curcumin Prevents Acute Neuroinflammation and Long-Term Memory Impairment Induced by Systemic Lipopolysaccharide in Mice [PDF]
Systemic lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induces an acute inflammatory response in the central nervous system (CNS) (\u201cneuroinflammation\u201d) characterized by altered functions of microglial cells, the major resident immune cells of the CNS, and an ...

Optical Imaging of Lipopolysaccharide-induced Oxidative Stress in Acute Lung Injury from Hyperoxia and Sepsis [PDF]
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of many acute and chronic pulmonary disorders such as acute lung injury (ALI) in adults and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants.

Parthenolide attenuates LPS-induced activation of NF-κB in a time-dependent manner in rat myocardium. [PDF]
Parthenolide (PTN), a selective nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) inhibitor, has been used extensively to inhibit NF-κB activation. The duration of the inhibitory effect of PTN on NF-κB in vivo remains unclear.

Effect of oleic acid supplementation on prostaglandin production in maternal endometrial and fetal allantochorion cells isolated from late gestation ewes [PDF]
Elevated circulating non-esterified fatty acids including oleic acid (OA) are associated with many pregnancy related complications. Prostaglandins (PGs) play crucial roles during parturition.

Loss of YhcB results in overactive fatty acid biosynthesis
Loss of the Escherichia coli inner membrane protein YhcB results in pleomorphic cell morphology and clear growth defects. Prior work suggested that YhcB was directly involved in cell division or peptidoglycan assembly.
