Article Synopsis
- LX are a type of eicosanoid derived from arachidonic acid via lipoxygenase transformation and have strong anti-inflammatory properties.
- Although previous studies demonstrated their presence in biological contexts, limited research has been conducted on their clinical implications, particularly regarding their urinary excretion using LXA(4) ELISA kits that suffered from specificity issues.
- The development of a new extraction method has improved the detection of LXA(4) in urine, revealing for the first time the presence of immunoreactive LXA(4) in healthy individuals and paving the way for further clinical research into these compounds.
