The Localization and Partial Characterization of Rat Testicular Phospholipase A2
, 1977 Preparations of mature rat testes were assayed for phospholipase A2 activity. Two separate phospholipase A2 enzymes were observed with two pH optima: one at pH 3.5 and the second at pH 7.5-8.0.

Journal of Lipid Research, 2010 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.

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Positional specificity of lysosomal phospholipase A2
Journal of Lipid Research, 2006 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 ...

Is there a role for cannabidiol in obesity, metabolic syndrome and binge eating?
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the most abundant phytocannabinoids isolated from the Cannabis sativa plant. CBD is a lipophilic, non‐intoxicating substance that differently from Δ9‐tetrahydrocannabinol (Δ9‐THC) does not present the typical profile of a drug of abuse.

Secreted phospholipase A2 and mast cells
Allergology International, 2015 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.

Impact of incretin analogues on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism in obesity and diabetes
British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.Abstract Incretin‐based therapies have gained momentum as a key strategy for reducing cardiovascular risk in individuals with obesity and/or type 2 diabetes (T2D). It remains unclear whether the cardiovascular benefits reflect a direct reduction in atherogenic lipoproteins—namely, low‐density lipoproteins (LDL), very low‐density lipoproteins (VLDL) and

Phospholipase A2 activity in T-lymphocytes [PDF]
, 1986 Phospholipase A2 activity was shown indirectly in T-lymphocytes from rat thymus and a permanent T-cell line by the liberation of arachidonic acid from phospholipids.

Lipid levels in sperm, eggs, and during fertilization in Xenopus laevis
Journal of Lipid Research, 2008 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.

Human group II 14 kDa phospholipase A2 activates human platelets
, 1997 Recombinant human group II phospholipase A2 (sPLA2) added to human platelets in the low microg/ml range induced platelet activation, as demonstrated by measurement of platelet aggregation, thromboxane A2 generation and influx of intracellular free Ca2 ...
