摘 要:摘 要:炎症启动(initiation)、发展之后的消退(resolution)是受到体内促消退介质(pro-resolving mediator)调控的主动过程。继发现由花生四烯酸衍生的脂氧素(lipoxin)后,新近又从炎症消退阶段的炎性渗出物中分离出由ω-3多不饱和脂肪酸转化而来的消退素(resolvin)与保护素(protectin),它们也具有强效的抗炎促消退效应,成为促炎症消退介质的新成员。

Abstract: Abstract: The resolution phase of inflammation, subsequent to its initiation and development phase, is an active process regulated by endogenous pro-resolving mediators. Following the discovery of lipoxin derived from arachidonic acid, the ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs)-derived resolvin and protectin were recently identified from the inflammatory exudates during the spontaneously resolution phase of inflammation. They are new members of pro-resolving mediator family with potent anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving effects.
Key words: resolvin; protectin; inflammation; inflammation resolution; polyunsaturated fatty acids
