Introduction: Although n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids have been widely described as
antiinflammatory fats, little is known about the role of oleic acid in immune system. Aim: The …

The Ca 2+-sensitive 85-kDa cytosolic phospholipase A 2 (cPLA 2) is responsible for
thrombin-stimulated mobilization of arachidonic acid for the synthesis of thromboxane A 2 in …

Many cellular functions are crucially dependent on the dynamic nature of cellular
membranes. Fatty acids, and in particular polyunsaturated fatty acids, are an integral part of …

Arachidonic acid (AA) increased, at constant Ca2+, the levels of force and 20-kDa myosin
light chain (MLC20) phosphorylation in permeabilized smooth muscle, and slowed …

Chapters 6–8 covered the mammalian phospholipases that are cellular for the most part.
This chapter and the following chapters also include some mammalian phospholipases A 2; …

Once brain ischemia was induced in the gerbil cerebral fronto‐parietal cortex, serial
changes occurred in energy metabolites and various lipids. The amounts of inosi‐tol …

The release of arachidonic acid, and its subsequent conversion to thromboxane A2, is an
important component of platelet activation. The precise mechanism of arachidonic acid …

Although the rapid thrombin-induced release of arachidonic acid in human platelets has
been known for over 20 years, the amount of arachidonic acid mass mobilized and the …

(1) The non-specific protein kinase C inhibitor, staurosporine, inhibited collagen-induced
increases in cytosolic free Ca2+ while having no effect on Ca2+ mobilization by other …
