Component

17R and 18R resolvins

17R and 18R resolvins. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

What acts on it

  1. Characterising the oxygenation of omega-3 fatty acids by aspirin-treated human cyclooxygenase-2 in vitro suggested that the 18R- and 17R-resolvins putatively involved in resolution of inflammation, reportedly formed via aspirin-acetylated cyclooxygenase-2 from eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid, could be formed only at low rates corresponding to less than 1 and 5% respectively of the rates of formation of prostaglandin H2 by the native enzyme.

    experimental_model
    Quantitative characterisation of aspirin-acetylated human cyclooxygenase-2 monomers using diclofenac to distinguish them
    exposure
    Aspirin acetylation with arachidonic, eicosapentaenoic and docosahexaenoic acid as substrates
    limitations
    Measures rates rather than presence, and reaches a much less generous estimate of resolvin formation than the reports it tests. It is an in vitro enzyme study, so it does not exclude accumulation or amplification in a living tissue.
    nutrient_topic
    Aspirin research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct clinical effect, and aspirin is recorded separately from salicylate, the metabolite it becomes. · Aspirin / acetylsalicylic acid
