In the present study, we created the weight gain models with Min and Yorkshire pigs and conducted the metagenomics and metabolomics of colon contents and transcriptomics of colon tissue. Further, we revealed the characteristics and functions of the colonic microbiota in Min and Yorkshire pigs and analyzed their interactions with the host. Overall, this

Improved homology modeling of the human & rat EP4 prostanoid receptors
Background The EP4 prostanoid receptor is one of four GPCRs that mediate the diverse actions of prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). Novel selective EP4 receptor agonists would assist to further elucidate receptor sub-type function and promote development of ...

Imbalance of endogenous prostanoids in moderate-to-severe asthma
Background: Inhalation studies suggested “protective” roles of exogenous prostaglandin E2, but the clinical relevance of endogenous prostanoids in asthma is poorly known. The objective of this study is to measure sputum levels of prostanoids in asthmatic

Prostaglandin E synthase (PGES) catalyzes isomerization of PGH2to PGE2which exhibits potent and various biological activities. Here we report the molecular identification of two distinct glutathione-dependent PGESs, the terminal PGE2-biosynthetic enzymes of the cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway.

Increased liver content of DHA‐derived small lipid autacoids (i.e resolvin D1 and maresin 1) associates with enhanced mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation, fatty acid β‐oxidation and bioenergetic metabolic flux. These features provide hepatic protection from steatotic, pro‐inflammatory and fibrogenic insults.
