High intakes of linoleic acid (LA,18:2n-6) have raised concern due to possible increase in arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6) synthesis, and inhibition of alpha linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3) desaturation to eicosapentaenoic (EPA, 20:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3). In healthy men
Lipoxygenases are currently potential targets for therapies against asthma, artherosceloris, and cancer. Recently, inhibition studies on both soybean (SLO) and human lipoxygenase (15-HLO) revealed the presence of an allosteric site that binds both substrate, linoleic acid, and inhibitors; oleic acid

Eicosadienoic acid (Δ11,14-20:2; EDA) is a rare, naturally occurring n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) found mainly in animal tissues. EDA is elongated from linoleic acid (LA), and can also be metabolized to dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA), arachidonic acid (AA), and sciadonic

The stoichiometry of the oxygenation reaction of cis,cis-eicosa-11,14-dienoic acid catalyzed by prostaglandin endoperoxide synthase and soybean lipoxygenase has been investigated by using steady-state initial rate measurements. The rate of product formation (conjugated diene hydroperoxy and hydroxy derivatives) was followed spectrophotometrically

Aryl phosphate esters (APEs) are widely used and commonly present in the environment. Health hazards associated with these compounds remain largely unknown and the effects of diphenyl phosphate (DPhP), one of their most frequent derivatives, are poorly characterized. Our aim
