Changes in IP3 Receptor Expression and Function in Aortic Smooth Muscle of Atherosclerotic Mice.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Lipoxin A4 (LXA4) is a biologically active product generated from arachidonic acid by lipoxygenase action. The production of lipoxins is enhanced by aspirin through acetylation of cyclooxygenase-2, via a mechanism known as 'aspirin-triggered lipoxin'. LXA4 has both anti-inflammatory and proinflammatory actio...
