Arachidonic Acid (AA): A polyunsaturated fatty acid that serves as the precursor for the synthesis of eicosanoids, which are key mediators in inflammation and cell signalling. cPLA 2: A calcium ...

Arachidonic acid modulates both electrical and biochemical properties of membrane proteins involved in cellular signaling. In Xenopus laevis oocytes expressing the excitatory amino acid ...

The scientists used caffeic acid, an anti-inflammatory compound found naturally in coffee, tea, tomatoes and wine, to tamp down the arachidonic acid pathway, but they caution that people with ALS ...

Lee has filed provisional patents for technology related to the potential use of the arachidonic acid pathway to treat ALS. ALS is a disorder in which motor neurons degenerate, the causes of which ...

Notably, by tampering with the arachidonic acid pathway in mice bred to develop the biological hallmarks of ALS, the researchers say they were able to reduce the condition's muscle-weakening ...

Investigators at the National Institutes of Health recently analyzed 31 serum metabolites of arachidonic acid and essential fatty acids to better understand what role they play in ovarian cancer ...

Omega-6 fatty acids—such as those found in corn oil—caused human prostate tumors in cell culture to grow twice as quickly as tumors to which omega-6 fats had not been added, according to a study ...

VLX-1005 is a first-in-class, selective small molecule inhibitor of 12-lipoxygenase, a key target within the arachidonic acid pathway. In preclinical studies, VLX-1005 has been shown to halt ...

“Omega-3 fatty acids are strong lipid mediators that play a crucial role in inflammatory regulation by controlling the arachidonic acid pathway and prostaglandin metabolism,” Youngsub Eom, MD ...
