Exotic species are sometimes phenologically distinct from native species in the invaded community, allowing them to be active when there may be reduced competition for resources. In southern California, annual species are particularly problematic invaders, and prior work has shown that these species germinate earlier in the growing season, giving them a competitive advantage over later‐germinating...
Invasion by exotic annual species is increasingly impacting Southern California arid lands, altering ecosystem processes and plant community composition. With climate change, the Southwestern United States is expected to experience increasingly variable rainfall. Larger rainfall events could facilitate invasion by exotic species that can capitalize on high resource conditions. Exotic annual species...
Human aortic endothelial cells (HAEC) exposed to 50μg/ml oxidized L-A-phosphatidylcholine B-arachidonoyl-gamma-palmitoyl (ox-PAPC) for 6h increased in interleukin-8 mRNA and protein levels. Preincubation of HAEC with the 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG CoA) inhibitor, (20μM), significantly inhibited ox-PAPC-stimulated interleukin-8 mRNA and protein levels. Mevalonate (200μM) reversed the...
