Phospholipase A2 (PLA2) catalyzes the hydrolysis of the sn-2 position of membrane
glycerophospholipids to liberate arachidonic acid (AA), a precursor of eicosanoids including …

The significance of the hypoxia component of stroke injury is highlighted by hypermetabolic
brain tissue enriched with arachidonic acid (AA), a 22: 6n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid. In an …

Implantation in humans is a complex process that is temporally and spatially restricted. Over
the past decade, using a one-by-one approach, several genes and gene products that may …

Brain phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels are regulated by a balance between synthesis and
hydrolysis. Pro-inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and …

A growing body of research supports that members of the vitamin E family are not redundant
with respect to their biological function. Palm oil derived from Elaeis guineensis represents …

Phospholipid degradation is an important promoter of neuronal death after transient cerebral
ischemia. Phospholipid hydrolysis by phospholipase A2 (PLA2) after transient cerebral …

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced in mammalian cells through enzymic and non‐
enzymic mechanisms. Although some ROS production pathways are needed for specific …

Les cellules de mammifères ont acquis des voies spécifiques pour l'incorporation, la
redistribution et la libération de l'acide arachidonique. Les voies de l'acyltransférase et de la …

Neuroprotection by citicoline (CDP‐choline) in transient cerebral ischemia has been
demonstrated previously. Citicoline has undergone several Phase III clinical trials for stroke …

Recent studies have suggested that mast cells have critical roles in angiogenesis. However,
the detailed mechanism by which mast cells contribute to angiogenesis is not yet clearly …
