Rainbow trout macrophages synthesize lipoxins as major lipoxygenase products entirely from endogenous fatty acids. High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of the supernatants from macrophages challenged with calcium ionophore A23187 revealed a range of lipoxygenase products including mono-hydroxy fatty acids, leukotrienes B4 and B5 and four major peaks with retention times and UV spectra characteristic of lipoxins (lambda max 302 nm). Cochromatography with authentic standards, UV spectroscopy and radiolabeling with [14C]arachidonate and eicosapentaenoate allowed tentative identification of the two largest peaks as lipoxin A4 and A5.

The effects of storage on rice flavor among different rice varieties have not been well studied. To address this gap, we analyzed volatile organic components (VOCs) identified by gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) and related physicochemical properties of different storage-tolerant rice varieties during storage. The results showed that VOCs of four rice varieties significantly changed after 6 months of storage; OPLS-DA analysis classified the four rice varieties into two groups.

Macrophages remove apoptotic cells via phagocytosis, also known as efferocytosis, during inflammation to maintain tissue homeostasis. This process is accompanied by various metabolic changes in macrophages including the production of lipid metabolites by fatty acid oxygenases. Among these, highly reactive metabolites, called lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs), modify cysteines and other nucleophilic amino acids in intracellular proteins.

Inflammation is a physiological response of the immune system to infectious agents or tissue injury, which involves a cascade of vascular and cellular events and the activation of biochemical pathways depending on the type of harmful agent and the stimulus generated. The Kunitz peptide HCIQ2c1 of sea anemone is a strong protease inhibitor and exhibits neuroprotective and analgesic activities. In this study, we investigated the anti-inflammatory potential of HCIQ2c1 in histamine- and lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-activated RAW 264.
