12/15-Lipoxygenase-Derived Lipid Metabolites Induce Retinal Endothelial Cell Barrier Dysfunction: Contribution of NADPH Oxidase
(
Public Library of Science
, 2013 , Article)
The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the effect of 12/15- lipoxygenase (12/15-LOX) metabolites on retinal endothelial cell (REC) barrier function. FITC-dextran flux across the REC monolayers and electrical ...
The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency among female college students at Qatar University
(
Medical Services Department Saudi Arabian Armed
, 2011 , Article)
Nowadays vitamin D deficiency is considered as a common problem among many Arab countries including Lebanon, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, UAE and other European countries as documented by many studies (1,2,3,5). Vitamin D is a ...
A lipidomic screen of hyperglycemia-treated HRECs links 12/15-Lipoxygenase to microvascular dysfunction during diabetic retinopathy via NADPH oxidase
(
American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology
, 2015 , Article)
Retinal hyperpermeability and subsequent macular edema is a cardinal feature of early diabetic retinopathy (DR). Here, we investigated the role of bioactive lipid metabolites, in particular 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX)-derived ...
Pigment epithelium-derived factor inhibits retinal microvascular dysfunction induced by 12/15-lipoxygenase-derived eicosanoids
(
Elsevier
, 2015 , Article)
We recently demonstrated that 12/15-lipoxygenase (LOX) derived metabolites, hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs), contribute to diabetic retinopathy (DR) via NADPH oxidase (NOX) and disruption of the balance in retinal ...
