PFOA Exposure Elicits Quantitative Lipidomic Changes in the Pancreas in a Mouse Model of Pancreatic Cancer

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pancreatic cancer is the fourth leading cause of cancer deaths in the US and predicted to rise to second by 2030. Several risk factors have been identified as potential contributors to pancreatic cancer development including lifestyle factors and long‐term exposure to occupational and environmental carcinogens.

Role of cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP as modulators of platelet cytosolic calcium

Journal of Clinical and Preventive Cardiology, 2016
Studies from our laboratory at the University of Minnesota as well as that of others have demonstrated that agonist-mediated receptor stimulation leads to the activation of phospholipase C and formation of second messengers, diacyl glycerol and inositol ...

Differences in Risk Factors for Severe Preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome in Singleton Versus Twin Pregnancies: A Population‐Based Cohort Study

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To examine whether the associations between pre‐pregnancy risk factors and severe preeclampsia/eclampsia (SPE) and/or HELLP syndrome differ between singleton and twin pregnancies. Design A population‐based retrospective cohort study. Setting British Columbia (BC), Canada.

Strong activation of cyclooxygenase I and II catalytic activity by dietary bioflavonoids*

Journal of Lipid Research, 2008
Cyclooxygenases (COXs) catalyze the conversion of arachidonic acid to prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes, and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids. In the present study, we investigated several dietary bioflavonoids for their ability to modulate the catalytic ...

Furong Tongmai Capsule Ameliorates Atherosclerosis in ApoE^-/- Mice by Modulating Gut Microbiota, Arachidonic Acid Metabolism and Macrophage Polarization. [PDF]

J Cell Mol Med
ABSTRACT Furong Tongmai capsule (FRTM) is a traditional Chinese medicine formula with reported lipid‐lowering and anti‐inflammatory activities, but its mechanisms in atherosclerosis (AS) remain unclear. In ApoE−/− mice fed a high‐fat diet, FRTM administration improved serum lipid profiles by reducing total cholesterol, triglycerides and low‐density ...

Non‐canonical PKG1 regulation in cardiovascular health and disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
It is well established that the cyclic GMP‐dependent protein kinase I (PKG1) is canonically activated by cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), enabling its regulation of vascular tone, cardiac function and smooth muscle homeostasis. However, diverse non‐canonical stimuli of PKG1 have also been identified.

Effect of polyunsaturated fatty acids on drug-sensitive and resistant tumor cells in vitro

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2011
Previous studies showed that γ-linolenic acid (GLA, 18: 3 ω-6), arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4 ω -6), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20: 5 ω -3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6 ω -3) have selective tumoricidal action.

Direct evidence implicating the asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA)‐dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) pathway in cerebrovascular dysfunction and stroke pathogenesis in mice

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Purpose Asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA) is an endogenous inhibitor of nitric oxide synthase (NOS), whereas dimethylaminohydrolase 1 (DDAH1) is primarily responsible for its metabolism. However, the roles of DDAH1 in cerebrovascular regulation are poorly understood. Furthermore, despite evidence that elevated ADMA levels are

Dietary melatonin and its benefits on cardiovascular disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of mortality globally, with a disproportionate burden in low‐ and middle‐income countries. Melatonin, a hormone primarily produced by the pineal gland, exhibits notable antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties that may confer cardiovascular benefits.
