The Cloning and Characterization of a Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase in Chicken
The mammalian soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) plays a role in the regulation of blood pressure and vascular homeostasis through its hydrolysis of the endothelial-derived messenger molecules, the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids. This study reports the cloning and expression of a sEH homolog from chicken liver.

Physiological and anatomical determinants of placental drug transfer
Abstract figure legend Fetal exposure to pharmaceuticals and their subsequent clearance back to the maternal circulation are governed by placental transfer. Passive diffusion down a maternal‐to‐fetal concentration gradient is the primary route of fetal drug exposure, with specific compounds undergoing transporter‐mediated transfer.

Role of the soluble epoxide hydrolase and cytochrome P450-derived epoxyeicosatrienoic acids in hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction and hypoxia-induced pulmonary vascular remodelling [PDF]
Hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction (HPV) redistributes pulmonary blood flow from areas of low oxygen partial pressure to areas of normal or relativity high oxygen availability, thus optimising the matching of perfusion to ventilation and preventing ...

Pharmacokinetic screening of soluble epoxide hydrolase inhibitors in dogs [PDF]
Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids that have anti-hypertensive and anti-inflammatory properties are mainly metabolized by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH, EC 3.3.2.3). Therefore, sEH has emerged as a therapeutic target for treating various cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory pain. N,N'-Disubstituted ureas are potent sEH inhibitors in vitro. However, in vivo

Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

Prevention of hypertension in DOCA-salt rats by an inhibitor of soluble epoxide hydrolase [PDF]
Cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase metabolism of arachidonic acid produces compounds important in cardiovascular control. Further, arachidonic acid can be metabolised by cytochrome p450 to produce epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs).

Impact of the acute local inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase on diabetic skin microcirculatory dysfunction [PDF]
International audienceThe impact of the local inhibition of soluble epoxide hydrolase, which metabolizes vasodilator and anti-inflammatory epoxyeicosanoids, on diabetic skin microvascular dysfunction was assessed. In diabetic db/db mice, basal skin blood

Erythropoietin administration suppresses hepatic soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) expression, leading to increased CYP‐derived epoxides. This is associated with a shift in hepatic macrophage polarization characterized by reduced M1 markers and increased M2 markers, along with reduced hepatic inflammation, suppressed hepatic lipogenesis, and attenuated ...

Impact of Soluble Epoxide Hydrolase and Epoxyeicosanoids on Human Health [PDF]
The presence of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) in tissues and their metabolism by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH) to 1,2-diols were first reported 30 years ago. However, appreciation of their importance in cell biology and physiology has greatly accelerated over the past decade with the discovery of metabolically stable inhibitors of sEH, the ...
