Metabolic and nutritional stressors are a growing global health concern. This review discusses how obesity, lipids, and lipid derivatives influence lung development, homeostasis, and chronic lung disease progression, highlighting roles of alveolar surfactant and sphingolipids.

Identification of a Novel Recycling Sequence in the C-tail of FPR2/ALX Receptor: Association with Cell Protection from Apoptosis [PDF]
Formyl-peptide receptor type 2 (FPR2; also called ALX because it is the receptor for lipoxin A4) sustains a variety of biological responses relevant to the development and control of inflammation, yet the cellular regulation of this G-protein-coupled ...

Biasing the lipoxin A 4 /formyl peptide receptor 2 pushes inflammatory resolution [PDF]
Acute inflammation is an innate host-defense mechanism against invading pathogens and tissue injury. Neutralization of the offending insult ideally prompts resolution of inflammation and restoration of tissue homeostasis. Resolution of inflammation is an active process governed by resolution programs (1), involving a novel group of lipid and protein ...

The c.-292C>T promoter polymorphism increases reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase-1 activity and could be atheroprotective [PDF]
Background: Reticulocyte-type 15-lipoxygenase-1 (ALOX15) has anti-inflammatory and inflammatory effects and is implicated in the development of asthma, arthritis and atherosclerosis.

Bufalin Inhibits Cytokine Storm by Regulating TLR4/TLR3 Signaling Pathway
ABSTRACT Background Bufalin is one main component of the dried venom from Bufo gargarizans Cantor, which has anti‐tumor, cardiotonic, anti‐inflammatory and other physiological activities. However, in recent years, researchers have mainly paid attention to its anti‐tumor effect and neglected its anti‐inflammatory effect.

Aspirin-triggered resolvin D1 reduces pneumococcal lung infection and inflammation in a viral and bacterial coinfection pneumonia model [PDF]
Formyl peptide receptor 2/lipoxin A4 (LXA4) receptor (Fpr2/ALX) co-ordinates the transition from inflammation to resolution during acute infection by binding to distinct ligands including serum amyloid A (SAA) and Resolvin D1 (RvD1).

The Formyl Peptide Receptor 2 Regulates Microglial Phenotype Through Immunometabolism: Implications for Alzheimer’s Disease [PDF]
Microglia are key players in the pathology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), driving chronic inflammation, oxidative stress, and the altered metabolism seen in the brains of patients.

Inhibitory effects of aspirin-triggered resolvin D1 on spinal nociceptive processing in rat pain models [PDF]
Background: Harnessing the actions of the resolvin pathways has the potential for the treatment of a wide range of conditions associated with overt inflammatory signalling.
