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.
Other things that act on it
Enzymes, hormones, genes, and other components with a recorded effect. These are not nutrients, so they do not count toward the arrows above. Each finding names the chapter that recorded it.
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 it does
Every recorded relationship this component is part of, grouped by its role. Plain wording comes first; the technical statement follows.
What acts on it
Delta-tocopherol at 50 µM inhibited LTB4 production stimulated by S1P or LPA in differentiated HL-60 cells, but did not inhibit the response to fMLP under the tested conditions.
Experimental context and source evidence
- cross_nutrient
- false
- experimental_model
- DMSO-differentiated human HL-60 neutrophil-like cells
- exposure
- 10 min pretreatment; S1P 50 µM, LPA 100 µM or fMLP 1 µM for 10 min.
- limitations
- Stimulus specificity precludes a universal anti-inflammatory claim. High-dose lipid stimuli and transformed cells limit extrapolation.
- nutrient_topic
- Vitamin E research collection; topical membership is not evidence of a direct dietary effect. · Vitamin E
- organism
- Homo sapiens
- plain_language
- Delta-tocopherol reduced leukotriene output only for some ways of activating these cells.
