The lung is more than an organ of gas exchange: immunocompetency, platelets and implications for drug discovery

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract The lungs have for a long time been recognised as having pharmacological significance as a specific organ to modulate the pharmacokinetics of endogenous substances needed to maintain homeostasis. The lungs are therefore the site of action of certain drugs that act on these homeostatic processes, resulting in systemic effects on the ...

Hypercortisolism: Causes, Consequences and Clinical Significance – A Review of Pathophysiology

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercortisolism or Cushing syndrome is a heterogeneous clinical spectrum caused by chronic glucocorticoid excess, ranging from exogenous Cushing syndrome to rare endogenous aetiologies and the increasingly recognised entity of mild autonomous cortisol secretion (MACS). Physiological cortisol production is tightly regulated by the hypothalamic–

Alpha-type phospholipase A2 inhibitors from snake blood

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2017
It is of popular and scientific knowledge that toxins from snake venom (among them the PLA2 and myotoxins) are neutralized by various compounds, such as antibodies and proteins purified from animal blood.

Updates on intra‐articular corticosteroid administration in horses

Equine Veterinary Education, EarlyView.
Summary Intra‐articular (IA) corticosteroid administration in equine athletes has gained increased attention recently, particularly in racing. Despite widespread corticosteroid use in equine practice for decades, there are still a lack of equine‐specific studies to address key questions related to their use.

Bakuchiol: From structural mimicry to systems‐level skin biology

International Journal of Cosmetic Science, EarlyView.
Convergent outcomes, divergent mechanisms: bakuchiol vs. retinol. Bakuchiol exhibits functional convergence with retinol in improving extracellular matrix integrity, epidermal differentiation and barrier function, while operating through distinct mechanisms.

Reverse-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic assay of phospholipases: application of spectrophotometric detection to rat phospholipase A2 isozymes

Journal of Lipid Research, 1993
This paper appraises an HPLC method for assaying phospholipase A2 (PLA2). The procedure is based on heptane-isopropanol-H2SO4 extraction of fatty acids released by the enzyme in the presence of margaric acid as an internal standard, and precolumn ...

Phospholipid metabolism by phagocytic cells. Phospholipases A2 associated with rabbit polymorphonuclear leukocyte granules

Journal of Lipid Research, 1974
Polymorphonuclear leukocytes obtained from sterile peritoneal exudates in rabbits contain two phospholipid-splitting activities (phosphatidylacylhydrolases EC 3.1.1.4), one most active at pH 5.5 and the other between pH 7.2 and 9.0.

Inflammatory and Immunological Basis of Periodontal Diseases

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
The periodontal lesion emerges as an evolving immunological battlefield, where host–microbiome interactions, dysregulated immune responses, fragile resolution mechanisms, and inflammophilic dysbiosis converge to shift the balance from homeostasis to unrestrained tissue destruction.

Synthesis of a naphthylvinyl-labeled glycerol ether analog of phosphatidylcholine and its use in the assay of phospholipase A2.

Journal of Lipid Research, 1987
The synthesis of a naphthylvinyl-labeled glycerol ether analog of phosphatidylcholine, 1-O-[12-(2-naphthyl)-dodec-11-enyl]-2-O-decanoyl-sn-glycerol-3- phosphocholine (NVPC), is described.
