Epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are synthesized from arachidonic acid by CYP/epoxygenase and metabolized by soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Roles of EETs in hypoxia-induced pulmonary hypertension (HPH) remain elusive. The present study aimed to investigate the underlying mechanisms, by which EETs potentiate

Neuroinflammatory responses are triggered by diverse ethiologies and can provide either beneficial or harmful results. Microglial cells are the major cell type involved in neuroinflammation, releasing several mediators, which contribute to the neuronal demise in several diseases including cerebral ischemia

Cyclooxygenase (COX)-2, the inducible isoform of prostaglandin (PG) synthase, has been implicated in tumor metastasis. Interaction of COX-2 with its specific EP receptors on the surface of cancer cells has been reported to induce cancer invasion. However, the effects of

Hypertension is associated with endothelial dysfunction, which favors the release of endothelium-derived contracting factors, including vasoconstrictor prostanoids and reactive oxygen species. Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-α (PPAR-α) agonists, clinically used as lipid-lowering drugs, possess antioxidant properties and exert beneficial effects in the

Caveolin-1 (cav-1) has been shown to play a significant role in the pathogenesis of pulmonary hypertension (PH). In the monocrotaline model of PH, the loss of endothelial cav-1 as well as reciprocal activation of proliferative and anti-apoptotic pathways initiate the
