Journal ArticleDOI
Biochemistry and pharmacology of endovanilloids.
TL;DR: The mechanisms for the regulation of the levels of the proposed endovanilloids, as well as their TRPV1-mediated pharmacological actions in vitro and in vivo, are discussed and the possible pathological conditions in which endovanillsoids, acting at sometimes aberrantly expressed TRPv1 receptors, might play a role are outlined.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phospholipase A(2)s and lipid peroxidation.
Santosh Nigam,Tankred Schewe +1 more
TL;DR: It is proposed that the platelet activating factor (PAF) acetylhydrolases of type II, which cleave preferentially peroxidised or lipoxygenated phospholipids, are competent for theospholipid repair, irrespective of their role in PAF metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acetylation by Histone Acetyltransferase CREB-binding Protein/p300 of STAT6 Is Required for Transcriptional Activation of the 15-Lipoxygenase-1 Gene *
TL;DR: The results suggest that in the absence of IL-4, nuclear histones may be bound to regulatory elements of the 15-LOX-1 gene, preventing its transcription, although these reactions follow differential kinetics.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: It is concluded that pharmacological enhancement of endocannabinoid levels (through inhibition of endOCannabinoid hydrolysis) reduces the development of precancerous lesions in the mouse colon.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candida albicans Modulates Host Defense by Biosynthesizing the Pro-Resolving Mediator Resolvin E1
Eric J. Haas-Stapleton,Yan Lu,Song Hong,Makoto Arita,Silvio Favoreto,Santosh Nigam,Charles N. Serhan,Nina Agabian +7 more
TL;DR: An inter-species chemical signaling system that modulates host immune functions and may play a role in balancing host carriage of commensal and pathogenic C. albicans is revealed.
