Sentences with phrase «eicosanoid signaling molecules»

Compared to dietary omega - 6 fatty acids, which generally give rise to more inflammatory thromboxanes, prostaglandins, and leukotrienes, omega - 3 fatty acids are metabolized into less inflammatory eicosanoid signaling molecules.

Long chain ω - 3 (EPA moreso than DHA) fats are generally thought to reduce inflammatory signalling because they compete with the ω - 6 fat arachidonic acid for conversion to eicosanoid signaling molecules.

Not exact matches

CYP - 13A12 promotes oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids into eicosanoids, signaling molecules that can strongly affect inflammatory pain and ischemia - reperfusion injury responses in mammals.

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

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.

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).

This competition effect is troubling because among the many uses the body has for omega - 3s and -6 s, it converts them to signaling molecules called eicosanoids, which promote unhealthy amounts inflammation, blood coagulation, and blood vessel constriction.

Both are required for complete optimal metabolic function and their function in the body is similar in that they are both used to generate a wide range eicosanoids, the technical term for the aforementioned «signal molecules.»

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.
