Background. A murine model (C3H mice) of squamous cell carcinoma (SCCVII) has been used to investigate the role of arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites in head and neck cancer. Inhibition of tumor growth by cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) inhibitors of AA metabolism has been associated with

## Abstract Arachidonic acid (AA)βinduced apoptotic death of K562 cells (human chronic myeloid leukemic cells) was characteristic of reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and mitochondrial depolarization. __N__βAcetylcysteine pretreatment rescued viability of AAβtreated cells and abolished mitoc
## Abstract In physiological conditions, endothelial cell proliferation is strictly controlled by several growth factors, among which bFGF and VEGF are the most effective. Both bind to specific tyrosine kinase receptors and trigger intracellular signal cascades. In particular, bFGF stimulates the r
The stimulation of cultured guinea pig alveolar macrophages by the chemotactic peptide N-formyl-L-methionyl-L-leucyl-L-phenylalanine, or by the phospholipid inflammatory mediator platelet activating factor (PAF) induced an increase in arachidonic acid release and its cyclooxygenase products. This re
Inflammation and the associated release of inflammatory cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNFβ£) may be a component of neurodegenerative diseases associated with aging or chronic HIV-1 infection. Most of the neurons that are affected under these conditions require a constant supply of tr
