The emerging role of 12/15-lipoxygenase in ischemic stroke by Xuening Wang, Qiuji Shao, Yuan Gao

“…Prior research has shown that 12/15-LOX levels in the brain are elevated following stroke. In this review, we elaborate on the key pathological mechanisms that unfold following ischemic stroke, including neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, neuronal apoptosis, and blood-brain barrier disruption, and present evidence demonstrating that 12/15-LOX inhibition could be used to treat ischemic stroke through various avenues. …”

Markers of inflammation before and after coronary artery bypass grafting and the effectiveness of statins by O.J. Zharinov, O.A. Yepanchintseva, I.V. Shklianka, A.I. Kurchenko, B.M. Todurov

“…The information about the prognostic value of activation of the inflammatory markers, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6) and tumor necrosis factor (TNF) is provided. It is shown that elevated levels of high-sensitive CRP before CABG and high levels of TNF and IL-6 during postoperation period may be associated with hemodynamic disorders and increasing the frequency of early complications and more likely occurrence of restenosis at long-term follow-up. …”

12/15-Lipoxygenase Is an Interleukin-13 and Interferon-γ Counterregulated-Mediator of Allergic Airway Inflammation by Alexa R. Lindley, Margaret Crapster-Pregont, Yanjun Liu, Douglas A. Kuperman

“…Interleukin-13 increases expression of the arachidonic acid-metabolizing enzyme, 15-lipoxygenase-1, in a variety of cell types. 15-lipoxygenase-1 is dramatically elevated in the airways of subjects with asthma. Studies in animals indicate that 15-lipoxygenase-1 contributes to the development of allergic airway inflammation but is protective in some other forms of inflammation. …”
