Dietary ingestion of fish is associated with a reduced risk for many common human illnesses. Fish oils are enriched with n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. Resolvins and protectins are newly discovered mediators that are enzymatically generated from these n-3 fatty acid precursors to orchestrate inflammation resolution. These natural compounds and their mimetics are providing intriguing evidence in model systems and translational research for cellular and molecular mechanisms that are active during catabasis. This review provides information on the biosynthesis and actions of these recently identified chemical mediators with particular reference to resolution of mucosal inflammatory responses.
饮食中摄入鱼类与许多常见人类疾病的风险降低有关。鱼油富含 n-3 多不饱和脂肪酸二十碳五烯酸和二十二碳六烯酸。解析素和保护素是新发现的介质,它们是由这些 n-3 脂肪酸前体酶促生成的,用于协调炎症的消退。这些天然化合物及其类似物在模型系统和转化研究中为细胞和分子机制提供了有趣的证据,这些机制在衰退期是活跃的。本文综述了这些最近发现的化学介质的生物合成和作用,特别参考了黏膜炎症反应的消退。
