Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus is a systemic disease mainly caused by the disorder of metabolism, which has become huge threat to human health. Polysaccharides are the main active substance from Inonotus obliquus (I. obliquus) with hypoglycemic effect. This study aims to evaluate the hypoglycemic activity and investigate the molecular mechanism of I. obliquus polysaccharide (IOP) in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic mice using metabolomics based on UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS method. Results The results showed that the oral administration of IOP in high dose (1.2 g/kg) can significantly reduce the blood glucose with 31% reduction comparing with the diabetic model and relieve dyslipidemia in diabetic mice. By UPLC-Q-Exactive-MS method and multivariate statistical analysis, a total of 15 differential metabolites were identified, including 4 up-regulated and 11 down-regulated biomarkers, of which l-tryptophan, l-leucine, uric acid, 12-HETE, arachidonic acid, PC(20:1(11Z)/14:1(9Z)) and SM(d18:0/24:1(15Z)) were exhibited an important variation, as the potential biomarkers in diabetes. Pathway analysis indicated that phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and arachidonic acid metabolism were prone to interference in diabetes. Moreover, leucine and proline were reversed and phytosphingosine was further reduced in diabetic mice under the intervention of IOP. Conclusion IOP has predominant hyperglycemic effect on STZ-induced diabetic mice via ameliorating serum profiling.

Pressure Lowering

Hypertension affects almost 50% of the adult American population. Metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) in the kidney play an important role in blood pressure regulation. The present study investigates the blood pressure-lowering potential of quercetin (QR), a naturally occurring polyphenol, and examines its correlation to the modulation of AA metabolism. Spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) were randomly divided into four groups. Treatment groups were administered QR in drinking water at concentrations of 10, 30, and 60 mg/L. Blood pressure was monitored at seven-day intervals. After a total of seven weeks of treatment, rats were killed and kidney tissues were collected to examine the activity of the two major enzymes involved in AA metabolism in the kidney, namely cytochrome P450 (CYP)4A and soluble epoxide hydrolase (sEH). Medium- and high-dose QR resisted the rise in blood pressure observed in the untreated SHR and significantly inhibited the activity of the CYP4A enzyme in renal cortical microsomes. The activity of the sEH enzyme in renal cortical cytosols was significantly inhibited only by the high QR dose. Our data not only demonstrate the antihypertensive effect of QR, but also provide a novel mechanism for its underlying cardioprotective properties.

Induced Aggregation

SummaryThe role of arachidonic acid oxygenated products in human platelet aggregation induced by the ionophore A23187 was investigated. The ionophore produced an increased release of both saturated and unsaturated fatty acids and a concomitant increased formation of TxA2 and other arachidonate products. TxA2 (and possibly other cyclo oxygenase products) appears to have a significant role in ionophore-induced aggregation only when low concentrations (<1 μM) of the ionophore are employed.Testosterone added to rat or human platelet-rich plasma (PRP) was shown previously to potentiate platelet aggregation induced by ADP, adrenaline, collagen and arachidonic acid (1, 2). We show that testosterone also potentiates ionophore induced aggregation in washed platelets and in PRP. This potentiation was dose and time dependent and resulted from increased lipolysis and concomitant generation of TxA2 and other prostaglandin products. The testosterone potentiating effect was abolished by preincubation of the platelets with indomethacin.

Prostacyclin Synthesis

Arachidonic acid (AA) or collagen were infused into rabbits causing intravascular platelet aggregation with thrombocytopenia, hypotension and death. Thromboxane and prostacyclin synthesis were measured by radioimmunoassay of plasma TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α. The effects of pretreatement with aspirin (ASA) or sulfinpyrazone(SPZ) were assessed.Death in drug-treated rabbits was always associated with elevations of plasma TXB2(1-40 ng/ml) and of 6-keto-PGF1α(1-20 ng/ml). Collagen produced only small elevations of plasma TXB2 compared to AA but protection by ASA correlated better with inhibition of TXB2 and 6-keto-PGF1α synthesis than with inhibition of aggregation. Low dose ASA produced less inhibition of prostacyclin synthesis than high dose ASA but was less effective in preventing thromboxane synthesis and death.

Purpose: Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) has been considered a risk factor for different diseases including cardiovascular disease (CVD), inflammation, neurological diseases, cancer and many other pathological conditions. Likewise, arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism is implicated in both vascular homeostasis and inflammation as shown by the development of CVD following the imbalance of its metabolites. Aim of The Review: This review summarizes how homocysteine (Hcy) can influence the metabolism of AA. Methods: In silico literature searches were performed on PubMed and Scopus as main sources. Results: Several studies have shown that altered levels of Hcy, through AA release and metabolism, can influence the synthesis and the activity of prostaglandins (PGs), prostacyclin (PGI₂), thromboxane (TXA), epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). Conclusions: We believe that by targeting Hcy in AA pathways, novel compounds with better pharmacological and pharmacodynamics benefits may be obtained and that this information is valuable for dietician to manipulate diets to improve health.
