Lipoxin Inhibits Fungal Uptake by Macrophages and Reduces the Severity of Acute Pulmonary Infection Caused by Paracoccidioides brasiliensis by Laura R. R. Ribeiro, Flávio V. Loures, Eliseu F. de Araújo, Cláudia Feriotti, Tânia A. Costa, Carlos Henrique Serezani, Sonia Jancar, Vera L. G. Calich

“…Blocking the CysLTs receptor by MTL reduced fungal loads in B10.A, but not in A/J mice. In susceptible mice, MLT treatment led to reduced influx of PMN leukocytes, increased recruitment of monocytes, predominant synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines, and augmented expression of 5- and 15-lipoxygenase mRNA, suggesting a prevalent LXA4 activity. …”
