Open AccessCentral anandamide deficiency predicts stress-induced anxiety: behavioral reversal through endocannabinoid augmentation
Stress is a major risk factor for the development of mood and anxiety disorders; elucidation of novel approaches to mitigate the deleterious effects of stress could have broad clinical applications. Pharmacolo...

Correction: Corrigendum: Aberrant cannabinoid signaling impairs oviductal transport of embryos
Nat. Med. 10, 1074–1080 (2004). In the online version of this article, the right axis of the graph in Figure 1a was missing its label. It should be labeled 'average litter size.' Also in the online version, th...

Structure, Function and Inhibition of Cyclo-oxygenases
The key step in the generation of prostaglandins (PGs) is the bis-dioxygenation of arachidonic acid to the bicyclic hydroperoxides PGG2 (endoperoxides) as the initial products of polyunsaturated fatty-acid oxygen...

Oxidant Generation in Mouse Skin in Response to Phorbol Ester Tumor Promoters
Oxygen radicals are believed to play an important role in cellular pathologies such as reperfusion injury, xenobiotic-induced toxicity, and chemically-induced cancer. Strong circumstantial evidence suggests ge...

Transformation of Exogenous Arachidonic Acid into a New Metabolite, 12-Keto- 5,8,10,14-Eicosatetraenoic Acid by Lewis Lung Carcinoma Cells: Implications in Tumor Cell Metastasis
Tumor cell arrest is a critical event in successful tumor cell metastasis. Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites are believed to play a crucial role in this phase of the metastatic cascade. The lipoxygenase metabo...

ESR Investigation of Tyrosyl Radicals of Prostaglandin H Synthase; Relation to Enzyme Catalysis
Prostaglandin H Synthase (PHS) catalyses the oxygenation of arachidonic acid to prostaglandin endoperoxides, the initial step in prostaglandin, thromboxane, and prostacyclin biosynthesis. PHS exhihits two cata...

Stimulation and Inhibition of Oxygen Radical Formation by Ascorbic Acid and 13-CIS-Retinoic Acid
Oxygen radicals are implicated in various stages of carcinogenesis and radical scavengers inhibit tumorigenesis in some models (1–4). However, many presumed radical scavengers exhibit radical generating activi...
