Previously we found that some cyclopenteone prostaglandin derivatives (PGs), referred to as neurite outgrowth-promoting PGs (NEPPs), have dual biological activities of promoting neurite outgrowth and preventing neuronal death [Satoh et al. (2000) J. Neurochem., 75, 1092-1102; Satoh et al. (2001)

Signaling cascades involving oxygenated derivatives (oxylipins) of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are known to operate in response to external stimuli. The marine red alga Chondrus crispus uses both oxygenated derivatives of C18 (octadecanoids) and C20 (eicosanoids) PUFAs as developmental or

Our present study examines, in mesenteric resistance arteries, possible vasodilation alterations, and the role of NO and COX (cyclo-oxygenase) derivatives, in cirrhosis. The vasodilator response to acetylcholine was analysed in segments from control and cirrhotic rats. The effects of the

Prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) stimulates the biosynthesis of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase and elevates glutathione (GSH) contents in cultured mammalian cells. To clarify the importance of gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase induction in the defence of endothelial cells against oxidative stress, the effect of PGA2 on

15-Deoxy-delta12,14-prostaglandin-J(2) (15d-PGJ(2)) has potent anti-inflammatory effects including the inhibition of interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta)-induced expression of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in several cell types. 15d-PGJ(2) contains an alpha,beta-unsaturated electrophilic ketone and several evidences suggest that thiol reducing agents prevent
