Sex differences in prostaglandin biosynthesis in neutrophils during acute inflammation

Sex differences in prostaglandin biosynthesis in neutrophils during acute inflammation

Abstract The severity and course of inflammatory processes differ between women and men, but the biochemical mechanisms underlying these sex differences are elusive. Prostaglandins (PG) and leukotrienes (LT) are lipid mediators linked to inflammation. We demonstrated superior LT biosynthesis in huma...
