Enhancing Human Cognition with Cocoa Flavonoids
Enhancing cognitive abilities has become a fascinating scientific challenge, recently driven by the interest in preventing age-related cognitive decline and sustaining normal cognitive performance in response to cognitively demanding environments. In recent years, cocoa and cocoa-derived products, as a rich source of flavonoids, mainly the flavanols sub-class, have been clearly shown to exert c...
متن کاملIL-5 increases expression of 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein and translocates 5-lipoxygenase to the nucleus in human blood eosinophils.
Cysteinyl-leukotrienes are potent bronchoconstrictor mediators synthesized by the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. Eosinophilopoietic cytokines such as IL-5 enhance cysteinyl-leukotriene synthesis in eosinophils in vitro, mimicking changes in eosinophils from asthmatic patients, but the mechanism is unknown. We hypothesized that IL-5 induces the expression of 5-LO and/or its activating protein FL...

متن کاملExpression of 5-lipoxygenase in differentiating human skin keratinocytes.
We studied the expression of arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) in a cell line of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) and in normal human skin keratinocytes in tissue culture. In undifferentiated keratinocytes 5-LO gene expression was low or undetectable as determined by 5-LO mRNA, protein, cell-free enzyme activity, and leukotriene production in intact cells. However, after shift to culture conditions...
متن کاملCloning of the cDNA for human 5-lipoxygenase.
The enzyme 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) catalyzes the first two reactions in the pathway leading to the formation of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. Leukotrienes are potent arachidonic acid metabolites possessing biological activities that suggest a role in the pathophysiology of allergic and inflammatory diseases. To obtain structural information about 5-LO for use in developing anti-inflammatory...
