PGE 2 is a potent lipid mediator involved in maintaining homeostasis but also promotion of
acute inflammation or immune suppression in chronic inflammation and cancer. Nucleotide-…

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is one of the major ingredients of fish oil and has been reported
to have anti‐inflammatory properties mediated through the GPR120 receptor. Whether …

Hyaluronan (HA) is the major glycosaminoglycan in the extracellular matrix. During inflammation,
there is an increased breakdown of HA, resulting in the accumulation of low molecular …
