Guest guest Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 I understand 15-LO is not as well studied as 5-LO ; the eicosanoid pathway is in fact a collection of pathways which will require many more years of exploration before all is known about it. It's like a family tree where you add branches every now and then. So this is interesting indeed, but I feel the researchers seem to jump too fast at the overly optimistic conclusion that a simple manipulation of 15-LO will significantly improve asthma.>> > I understand most eicosonoids act like hormones in the body.Here is the> arachidonic metabolic pathway again.> > University of Pittsburgh Schools of the Health Sciences (2011, August> 9).
