Elucidation of differences between the active sites of COX-1 and COX-2 allowed the targeted design of the selective COX-2 inhibitors known as coxibs. They were marketed as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) that had improved upper gastrointestinal (GI) safety compared with older non-selective NSAIDs such as diclofenac and naproxen. Two GI safety studies conducted with arthritis patients...
Flaxseed, echium, and canola oils contain α-linolenic acid (18∶3n−3, ALA) in a range of concentrations. To examine their effect on elevating cardiac levels of long-chain n−3 FA, diets based on these n−3-containing vegetable oils were fed to rats for 4 wk. Sunflower oil, which contains little ALA, was a comparator. Despite canola oil having the lowest ALA content of the three n−3-containing vegetable...
Dietary fish oil supplements have been shown to have benefits in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), other inflammatory diseases, and in cardiovascular disease. As with any medical advice, variability will exist with regard to adherence and consequent biochemical or pharmacophysiologic effects. The aim was to explore the utility of plasma phospholipid EPA as a measure of n−3 PUFA intake and response to standardized...
Oxidatively modified low density lipoprotein (LDL) has many biological activities which could contribute to the pathology of the atherosclerotic lesion. Because atherosclerosis has an inflammatory component, there has been much interest in the extent to which LDL could be oxidatively modified in vivo by inflammation. The present study examined LDL present in an accessible inflammatory site, the inflamed...
