octadecadienoic acid/necrosis

Bioactive oxidized linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs) include 13- and 9-hydroxy-octadecadienoic acid (13-HODE + 9-HODE) and have been linked to oxidative stress, inflammation, and numerous pathological and physiological states. The purpose of this study was to measure changes in plasma 13-HODE +

Adhesion of tumor cells to vascular endothelial surfaces is one of the key steps in metastatic dissemination. Several factors are believed to be implicated in the regulation of the adhesive properties of tumor cells. We show that the adhesion of five different tumor cell lines, all of them of human

BACKGROUND Conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is a collective term for isomers of octadecadienoic acid with conjugated double-bond system. Thus, it was the objective to investigate whether milk composition and metabolic key parameters are affected by adding CLA to the diet of dairy cows in the first

Low density lipoprotein (LDL) exists in various forms that possess unique characteristics, including particle content and metabolism. One circulating subfraction, electronegative LDL (LDL(-)), which is increased in familial hypercholesterolemia and diabetes, is implicated in accelerated

We (66) have previously described an NSAID-insensitive intramitochondrial biosynthetic pathway involving oxidation of the polyunsaturated mitochondrial phospholipid, cardiolipin (CL), followed by hydrolysis [by calcium-independent mitochondrial calcium-independent phospholipase A2-γ (iPLA2γ)] of

The current study evaluated the anti-inflammatory and anxiolytic activities of Euphorbia hirta extract in neonatal asthmatic rats. Rats were assigned to the following groups: group I, sham (normal rats); group II, control (asthmatic rats); group III, E. hirta extract (100 µg/100 µl) and group IV, E.

Experimental alcohol-induced liver injury is exacerbated by a high polyunsaturated fat diet rich in linoleic acid. We postulated that bioactive oxidized linoleic acid metabolites (OXLAMs) play a critical role in the development/progression of alcohol-mediated hepatic inflammation and injury. OXLAMs

The fatty acid composition of the kernel of Chimonanthus praecox cv. Luteus (FKC) was analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), its ability to kill Pomacea canaliculata was detected, and the degree of damage and physiological and biochemical effects of an FKC soaking treatment on the
