Mechanism(s) of activation of secretory phospholipase A2s in mouse keratinocytes
The differential activation of different members of the phospholipase A2 (PLA2) superfamily and their regulation are important as one or more of them regulates the production of eicosanoids and others may contribute to the formation of other lipid ...

Neuroinflammation, caused by 6 days of intracerebroventricular infusion of a low dose of lipopolysaccharide (LPS; 0.5 ng/h), stimulates brain arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism in rats, but 6 weeks of lithium pretreatment reduces this effect.

Lipid levels in sperm, eggs, and during fertilization in Xenopus laevis
Critical developmental periods, such as fertilization, involve metabolic activation, membrane fusion events such as sperm-egg or plasma membrane-cortical granule merger, and production and hydrolysis of phospholipids.

Positional specificity of lysosomal phospholipase A2
Lysosomal phospholipase A2 (Lpla2) is highly expressed in alveolar macrophages and may mediate the phospholipid metabolism of surfactant. Studies on the properties of this phospholipase are consistent with the presence of both phospholipase A1 and ...

Secreted phospholipase A2 and mast cells
Phospholipase A2s (PLA2s) are a group of enzymes that hydrolyze the sn-2 position of phospholipids to release (typically unsaturated) fatty acids and lysophospholipids, which serve as precursors for a variety of bioactive lipid mediators.
