Soluble epoxide hydrolase as a therapeutic target for pain, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.

TLDR
While EpFAs demonstrate activity against inflammatory pain, interestingly, this action extends to blocking chronic neuropathic pain as well, which greatly contributes to the overall understanding of their role in the inflammatory response.

Therapeutic potential of omega-3 fatty acid-derived epoxyeicosanoids in cardiovascular and inflammatory diseases.

TL;DR: Based on preclinical studies, these omega‐3 epoxyeicosanoids display cardioprotective, vasodilatory, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐allergic properties that contribute to the beneficial effects of n‐3 LC‐PUFAs in diverse disease conditions ranging from cardiac disease, bronchial disorders, and intraocular neovascularization, to allergic intestinal inflammation and inflammatory pain.

Eicosanoids: The Overlooked Storm in Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19)?

TL;DR: The predominant role of eicosanoids in regulating the inflammatory cascade is discussed, the potential application of sEH inhibitors in alleviating COVID-19 symptoms is proposed and the host-protective action of omega-3 fatty acid-derived epoxyeicOSanoids and specialized proresolving mediators in regulating anti-inflammation and antiviral response is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Soluble epoxide hydrolase plays a key role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease.

TL;DR: It is found that MPTP (1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine)-induced neurotoxicity in the mouse striatum was attenuated by subsequent repeated administration of TPPU, a potent sEH inhibitor.

Maternal glyphosate exposure causes autism-like behaviors in offspring through increased expression of soluble epoxide hydrolase

TL;DR: It is suggested that maternal exposure to high levels of glyphosate causes ASD-like behavioral abnormalities and abnormal composition of gut microbiota in juvenile offspring, and that increased activity of sEH might play a role in ASD- like behaviors in offspring after maternal glyphosate exposure.

The obligatory role of endothelial cells in the relaxation of arterial smooth muscle by acetylcholine

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that relaxation of isolated preparations of rabbit thoracic aorta and other blood vessels by ACh requires the presence of endothelial cells, and that ACh, acting on muscarinic receptors of these cells, stimulates release of a substance(s) that causes relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle.

Inflammation and Atherosclerosis

TL;DR: New insights into inflammation in atherosclerosis not only increase the understanding of this disease, but also have practical clinical applications in risk stratification and targeting of therapy for this scourge of growing worldwide importance.
Journal ArticleDOI

A peripheral mononeuropathy in rat that produces disorders of pain sensation like those seen in man.

TL;DR: A peripheral mononeuropathy was produced in adult rats by placing loosely constrictive ligatures around the common sciatic nerve and the postoperative behavior of these rats indicated that hyperalgesia, allodynia and, possibly, spontaneous pain were produced.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkinson's disease: Mechanisms and models

TL;DR: PD models based on the manipulation of PD genes should prove valuable in elucidating important aspects of the disease, such as selective vulnerability of substantia nigra dopaminergic neurons to the degenerative process.

Prostaglandins and Leukotrienes: Advances in Eicosanoid Biology

TL;DR: Important insights into the mechanisms of inflammatory responses, pain, and fever have been gleaned from the current understanding of eicosanoid biology.
