    Inflammation 35(1):74-80 (2012) PMID 21274744

    We examined the effect of Se on LTB(4) synthesis during isoproterenol (ISP)-induced myocardial infarction (MI) in rats. Rats were divided as: control, ISP, Se, and Se + ISP. Sodium selenite was administered at dose of 8 μg/100 g/day. ISP was injected subcutaneously twice (10 mg/100 g body weigh...

    We determined the synthesis of LTB4 and LTC4 by specific radioimmunoassay, and the messenger RNA (mRNA) expression of LT-synthesizing enzymes by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction in peripheral polymorphonuclear leukocytes, which were obtained from controls and asthmatic children. The s...

    Chondrocytes formed only prostaglandin E2 and minor amounts of 15-HETE and 11-HETE, the production of all of which was inhibited by 1 microM indomethacin. Incubation of PMN and chondrocytes produced more LTC4 from endogenous and exogenous AA, and more LTB4 from endogenous AA, than incubation of PMN...
