Changes in the Left Ventricular Eicosanoid Profile in Human Dilated Cardiomyopathy
ObjectiveMetabolites derived from N−3 and N−6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have both beneficial and detrimental effects on the heart. However, contribution of these lipid mediators to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM)-associated mitochondrial ...

Over the last decade oxylipins have become more recognized for their involvement in several diseases. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen are known to inhibit cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes, but how NSAIDs affect oxylipins, in ...

Generation and characterization of epoxide hydrolase 3 (EPHX3)-deficient mice.
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) epoxygenases metabolize arachidonic acid into epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which play an important role in blood pressure regulation, protection against ischemia-reperfusion injury, angiogenesis, and inflammation.

Formation and metabolism in vitro of 5,6-epoxides of cholesterol and β-sitosterol
The formation of 5α,6α- and 5β,6β-epoxides of cholesterol and β-sitosterol in rat liver subcellular fractions has been studied. The results show that the epoxidation seems to occur only in connection with the nonspecific tissue oxidation of the sterols ...

Primary Structure and Catalytic Mechanism of the Epoxide Hydrolase from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1 [PDF]
The epoxide hydrolase gene from Agrobacterium radiobacter AD1, a bacterium that is able to grow on epichlorohydrin as the sole carbon source, was cloned by means of the polymerase chain reaction with two degenerate primers based on the N-terminal and C ...

Overexpression of Catalase Enhances Benzo(a)pyrene Detoxification in Endothelial Microsomes. [PDF]
UNLABELLED:We previously reported that overexpression of catalase upregulated xenobiotic- metabolizing enzyme (XME) expression and diminished benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) intermediate accumulation in mouse aortic endothelial cells (MAECs). Endoplasmic reticulum (
