Arachidonic acid is an essential unsaturated fatty acid, found in animal and human fats, as well as in liver, brain and glandular organs. It is one of the phospholipids in animals. It is a precursor to the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and leukotrienes. Arachidonic acid is an important factor in cell signaling and the occurrence of inflammation[1-3].
Arachidonic acid(0-40 µM; 3min) stimulates protein tyrosine phosphorylation in vascular cells[4]. Arachidonic acid (3.3µM;24h) supports EB formation and protects EBs from Valproic acid (VA)-induced embryotoxicity[5].
Arachidonic acid (1-4mg/kg; i.g.; once daily for 3weeks) treatment has resulted in a significant down-regulation of pro-inflammatory markers as well as the COX pathway and up-regulation of 12/15-LOX has been observed in obesity mice[6].Arachidonic acid+ diet could prevent amyloid β-protein (Aβ) deposition through the alteration of amyloid precursor protein (APP) processing in Tg2576 mice[7].

花生四烯酸Arachidonic acid 是一种必需的不饱和脂肪酸,存在于动物和人类脂肪中,也存在于肝脏、大脑和腺体器官中。它是动物体内磷脂的一种。它是前列腺素和白三烯生物合成的前体。花生四烯酸也是细胞信号传导和炎症发生的重要因子[1-3]。
花生四烯酸(0-40 µM; 3min)刺激血管细胞中的蛋白酪氨酸磷酸化[4]。花生四烯酸 (3.3µM;24h)支持胚状体形成并保护胚状体免受丙戊酸(VA)诱导的胚胎毒性[5]。
花生四烯酸处理(1-4mg/kg; i.g.; once daily for 3weeks)导致肥胖小鼠的促炎标志物和COX通路显著下调,12/15-LOX上调[6]。花生四烯酸饮食可通过改变Tg2576小鼠的淀粉样前体蛋白(APP)加工来阻止淀粉样β蛋白Aβ沉积[7]。
