Proinflammatory agent. Stimulates c-Fos and c-Jun proto-oncogene transcription in human monocytes. Stimulates chemotaxis, aggregation, and degranulation of polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Data sheet which accompanies each product includes special handling instructions. Except where noted, method for hydrolysis of methyl esters is also described.

In the present study, keratinocytes were coincubated with human neutrophils to determine whether or not an increase in leukotriene B4 formation can occur. Human keratinocytes used were cultured in serum-free, low-calcium medium, whereas neutrophils were purified from heparinized venous blood.
In mice, activation of the transient receptor potential cation channels (TRP) TRPV1, TRPV4, and TRPA1 causes visceral hypersensitivity. These receptors and their agonists might be involved in development of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We investigated whether polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA)

Several strategies based on immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have been developed for cancer therapy, opening to advantages in cancer outcomes. However, several ICI-induced side effects have emerged in these patients, especially a rare but clinically significant cardiotoxicity with high rate
5-Lipoxygenase (5-LOX) oxygenates arachidonic acid to form 5-hydroperoxyeicosatetraenoic acid, which is further converted into biologically detrimental leukotrienes, such as leukotriene B4 (LTB4). The RPE and retina express the PNPLA2 gene for pigment epithelium-derived factor receptor (PEDF-R), a lipase involved in

Leukotriene (LT) B4 is a biologically active molecule derived from arachidonic acid via the 5-lipoxygenase pathway. It mediates certain inflammatory and immunological reactions. The role of LTB4 in the immune system has been questioned since lymphocytes have been regarded to
