How can you use “eicosanoids” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
It has been proposed that vitamin E may incorporate into cellular membranes by association of the tocopherol side chain with the polyenoic fatty acid residues in the membrane fatty acids [ 15 19 ] . This interaction may stabilize cell membranes by making highly unsaturated fatty acids less liable to peroxidation as well as by making highly unsaturated fatty acids less available for phospholipid hydrolysis by phospholipase [ 15 16 ] . The latter action may reduce mobilization of arachidonic acid (AA) from the membranes and in this way reduce the amount of AA available as a substrate to cyclooxygenase and/or lipoxygenase to produce eicosanoids with mitogenic and with inflammatory properties [ 17 20 ] . Other possible antitumor actions include: induction of apoptosis, interference with hormone production, modulation of cellular signaling and gene transcription, and induction of differentiation [ 4 21 22 23 24 ] .
During hypothermic sepsis, the response of cytokines and eicosanoids is higher than in febrile patients.
Arachidonic acid (AA; 20:4n6), either formed from n6 precursors in mammals or obtained directly from the diet, is believed to exert most of its biological activity via conversion to various eicosanoids.
, transforming growth factor β [TGFβ], platelet-derived growth factor [PDGF], basic fibroblast growth factor [bFGF]), eicosanoids (i.e.
The most often cited action of n3 LC-PUFA is that they induce alterations in eicosanoids by antagonizing the primary substrate of eicosanoid metabolism: arachidonic acid (AA) [ 13 ] . Certainly, n3 LC-PUFA replace AA in cellular membranes to some extent and alter eicosanoid products, but is this the primary mechanism underlying the benefits of consuming fish?
