Maresins (macrophage mediators in resolving inflammation) are members of a class of potent anti-inflammatory and pro-resolving mediators that are synthesized by macrophages in the presence of DHA. MaR1 is produced via oxidation of endogenous DHA by 12-LO. MaR1 has been shown to reduce neutrophil…

PGF2α is rapidly metabolized to 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α in vivo, by the enzymes 15-hydroxy PG dehydrogenase and D13-reductase. Measurement of 13,14-dihydro-15-keto PGF2α in plasma can be used as a marker of the in vivo production of PGF2α. The Cayman’s…
