Sentences with phrase «as eicosanoid»

Some cytochrome p450 enzymes act on polyunsaturated fatty acids to make cellular signaling molecules known as eicosanoids.

This particular enzyme produces arachidonic acids from the membrane, which is then transformed into prostaglandins, plus other compounds known as eicosanoids which have a contributing role in the degradative processes.

At a mechanistic level, curcumin mitigates inflammation by inhibiting an array of pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, such as the eicosanoids known as leukotrienes, thromboxanes, and prostaglandins, which elicit deleterious effects ranging from pain to blood clotting to airway constriction (Chainani, 2003).

Not exact matches

These molecules include eicosanoids prostaglandin E2, leukotriene B4 and thromboxane TXB2, second messengers cAMP and cGMP, as well as bile acids, conjugated steroids, and folic acid.

The specific anti-inflammatory chemicals eicosanoids, mentioned above, have similar effects to aspirin, but without downsides such as gastric bleeding.

These fatty acids are converted to eicosanoids such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes.

As I illustrated above, arachidonic acid is processed by the enzyme cyclooxygenase (COX) to produce pro-inflammatory signaling molecules called eicosanoids, including leukotrienes, prostaglandins, and thromboxanes.

When incorporated into the cell membranes of the body, these omega - 3 and omega - 6 fatty acids function as precursors for eicosanoids that control a host of cellular functions and responses.

A lack of efforts to reduce inflammation in the body can contribute chronic Western disease, such as heart disease and cancer Omega - 3 fatty acids have proven to reduce the production of molecules and substances linked to inflammation, such as inflammatory eicosanoids and cytokines Studies have consistently shown a link between higher omega - 3 intake and reduced inflammation.

As I mentioned above, Omega 3's and Omega 6's «compete» in the body for the enzymes that convert them into the signal molecules eicosanoids.

If we can alter our diet to favor Omega 3 metabolism, we will have less eicosanoids from Omega 6's and as a result, lower systemic inflammation.

Using turmeric to slow the body's production of eicosanoids brings their levels in the body back to normal levels and as a result, chronic systemic inflammation in the body decreases significantly.

It must depend how the oxidation is being generated as well eg mitochondrial type energy processes, or chemical reaction like eicosanoid production, and where if at all do the two meet.
