Arachidonic acid metabolite production following focal cerebral ischemia: time course and effect of meclofenamate.
Arachidonic acid metabolites have been implicated in the development of cerebral edema following ischemia. To define the time course of metabolite production, subtemporal craniectomies were performed on 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats (350-400 g). Thirty rats underwent middle cerebral artery occlusion while 30 rats underwent craniectomy alone. Five rats in each of two groups (middle cerebral artery...
متن کاملStimulation of prostaglandin G/H synthase-2 expression by arachidonic acid monoxygenase product, 14,15-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid.
The relationship between arachidonic acid (AA) mobilization and transcription of immediate-early genes, particularly of prostaglandin G/H synthase-2 (PGHS-2), in intestinal crypt epithelial cells was analyzed. PGHS-2 mRNA and protein synthesis were stimulated by its own substrate, AA; actinomycin D, a transcription inhibitor, prevented the AA-induced increase in PGHS-2 mRNA. Eicosatetraynoic ac...

متن کاملRaloxifene and hormone replacement therapy increase arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid levels in postmenopausal women.
Estrogens may affect the essential n-6 and n-3 fatty acids arachidonic acid (AA; C20:4n-6) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA; C22:6n-3). Therefore, we investigated the long-term effects of hormone replacement therapy and raloxifene, a selective estrogen-receptor modulator, in two randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies. In study I, 95 healthy, non-hysterectomized, early postmenopausal ...
متن کاملRifampin inhibits prostaglandin E2 production and arachidonic acid release in human alveolar epithelial cells.
Rifampin, a potent antimicrobial agent, is a major drug in the treatment of tuberculosis. There is evidence that rifampin also serves as an immunomodulator. Based on findings that arachidonic acid and its metabolites are involved in the pathogeneses of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections, we investigated whether rifampin affects prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) production in human alveolar epithel...
