Abstract INTRODUCTION Sphingosine kinase 1 (SPHK1) has been implicated in the regulation of pro‐resolving lipid mediators relevant to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, no studies have evaluated the genetic association between SPHK1 polymorphisms and AD susceptibility.

The high incidence of insulin resistance and the metabolic syndrome in South Asians remains unexplained. I propose that a defect in the activity of Δ6 and Δ5 desaturases and consequent low plasma and tissue concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids ...

Phospholipid derived mediators and glomerulonephritis
The contributions made by the various eicosanoids, PAF, the HETES and the lipoxins to the pathophysiology of glomerulonephritis is reviewed. A case can be made for clinical trials of PAF, leukotriene and thromboxane antagonists.

Can vagus nerve stimulation halt or ameliorate rheumatoid arthritis and lupus?
Acetylcholine, the principal vagus neurotransmitter, inhibits inflammation by suppressing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines through a mechanism dependent on the α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit (alpha7nAChR) that explains why vagus ...

Astrocyte-derived lipoxins A4 and B4 promote neuroprotection from acute and chronic injury [PDF]
Astrocytes perform critical non-cell autonomous roles following CNS injury that involve either neurotoxic or neuroprotective effects. Yet the nature of potential prosurvival cues has remained unclear.

Molecular Circuits of Resolution in Renal Disease
Inflammation is a common feature of renal pathology. Lipid mediators, such as lipoxins, resolvins, and protectins, can actively promote the resolution of inflammation by inhibiting polymorphonuclear cell infiltration to the site of inflammation, shifting
