ABSTRACT

Timely resolution of an acute inflammatory response is essential for healthy tissues. Specialized chemical mediators derived from essential fatty acids are identified that actively promote resolution of inflammation via novel pro-resolving and anti-inflammatory cascades. In this review, we summarize potent role of the lipoxins ,resolvins along with other chemical mediators that are enzymatically generated and identified in the resolving inflammatory exudates.

ABSTRACT

A inflamação é uma resposta de defesa do organismo ao trauma ou a infecções por microorganismos. Na fase de término da inflamação e retorno à homeostase ocorrem mecanismos de regulação chamados de resolução onde há alternância de prostaglandinas pró-inflamatórias e leucotrienos a mediadores pró-resolução, produzidos a partir de ácidos graxos poliinsaturados ω3 (ácido eicosapentanóico e ácido docosapentanóico). A dieta interfere na composição de ácidos graxos das membranas celulares que serão metabolizados em compostos ativos chamados de resolvinas, protectinas e maresinas. Como as doenças inflamatórias têm papel importante na saúde pública o estudo destas substâncias e o delineamento de seus efeitos podem trazer novos horizontes no tratamento das doenças inflamatórias, com redução de custos e minimização de efeitos colaterais.


Inflammation is a defensive response to the trauma, infections or injury to the organism. When inflammation is ending occurs a program for active regulation called the resolution. This is accompanied by a class of lipid mediators where there is alternation of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes to proresolution mediators, produced from 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (eicosapentaenoic and docosapentanoicacid). The diet interferes the fatty acid composition of cell membranes that will be metabolized to active compounds called resolvins, protectins and maresins. The inflammatory diseases have an important rolein public health, so the study of these substances and delineation of their effects can bring new horizons in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, reducing costs and minimizing side effects.
