| Application: | cis-5,8,11,14,17-Eicosape • to study its effect on the pathology of lupus in drug-induced and spontaneous mouse models • to pretreat mouse alveolar macrophages to study the effect/relationship between amiodarone and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) concerning the cytokine release • to examine if pharmacological correction with EPA supplementation might restore autophagic flux and reduce renal lipotoxicity in mice |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | 5-Lipoxygenase inhibitor; reduces thromboxane A2 production. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) possesses anti-hyperglycemic, anti-oxidant, anti-hyperlipidemic, and anti-inflammatory properties. It aids in improving vasoreactivity. EPA is capable of suppressing vascular smooth muscle proliferation. It ameliorates pulmonary hypertension by preventing Fyn kinase activity. EPA exhibits a beneficial effect on lipid metabolism. It is used to treat hypercholesterolemia and atherosclerosis. |
| General description: | Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA)/timnodonic acid is an omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA). This long-chain fatty acid is mainly found in fish oil. |
