The prostaglandin D2 receptor 2 pathway in asthma: a key player in airway inflammation

Respiratory Research, 2018
Asthma is characterised by chronic airway inflammation, airway obstruction and hyper-responsiveness. The inflammatory cascade in asthma comprises a complex interplay of genetic factors, the airway epithelium, and dysregulation of the immune response ...

Evaluating the effect of γ‐oryzanol on MASLD pathology using a medaka fish model

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
This study explores a liver disease called MASLD, which is increasing worldwide and can lead to serious damage. Researchers used medaka fish instead of rodents to test a food compound, γ‐oryzanol. Fish fed this compound had less liver fat and healthier gut bacteria.

Effects of Add‐On Icosapent Ethyl With Standard Treatment on Functional Outcomes and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ischemic stroke, a major cause of mortality and long‐term disability, results from the abrupt cessation of cerebral blood flow due to vascular occlusion or rupture. Icosapent Ethyl (EPA‐EE), approved for hypertriglyceridemia, has anti‐inflammatory and antithrombotic properties that may lessen ischemic damage.

α7 Nicotinic Acetylcholine Receptor Stimulation Inhibits Lipopolysaccharide-Induced Interleukin-18 and -12 Production in Monocytes

Journal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2006
Nicotine inhibited interleukin (IL)-18 and -12 production in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated monocytes, and the action of nicotine was antagonized by a non-selective and a selective α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7-nAChR) antagonist ...

Roles of prostaglandin receptors in female reproduction [PDF]

Journal of Biochemistry, 2014
Prostaglandins (PGs) have long been known to play roles in various processes of female reproduction; however, the molecular mechanisms therein remained unsolved until recently. This review summarizes the recent progress towards understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying PG actions in fertilization and parturition.

Severity of lung injury in cyclooxygenase-2-deficient mice is dependent on reduced prostaglandin E-2 production [PDF]

, 2004
Levels of prostaglandin E-2 (PGE(2)), a potent inhibitor of fibroblast function, are decreased in the lungs of patients with pulmonary fibrosis, which has been shown to be because of limited expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).

Safety of Prescription Nonsteroidal Anti‐inflammatory Drugs in Adults With Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Data From a Large Administrative Claims Cohort

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective The concern that nonsteroidal anti‐inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may precipitate flares of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) has limited their use in managing musculoskeletal symptoms in those with IBD, but safety data are mixed. Methods This retrospective cohort study included patients with IBD aged at least 18 years from Optum's deidentified ...

An electrophysiological study of the interaction between fenamate NSAIDs and the GABA(_A) receptor [PDF]

, 1999
The effects of certain NSAIDs were determined on agonist-evoked responses recorded from rat neurones maintained in vitro using electrophysiological techniques. Initially, the rat isolated vagus and optic nerves were employed. Alphaxalone, pentobarbitone,
