Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory mechanisms have been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathogenesis, and among them, the pro-inflammatory 5-lipoxygenase (5LO) enzyme. While previous work has shown that 5LO modulates the amyloidotic phenotype of AD, the exact metabolic product responsible for this biological action remains unknown. In this study, we challenged neuronal cells with leukotriene B4 (LTB4), a major 5LO product, and...
