Stimulates enzymes of the energy metabolism; involved in the synthesis of fatty acids*, cholesterol and protein.
Has a beneficial influence on the prostaglandin and leukotriene metabolism alleviating circulatory problems, skin disease and inflammation.
The beneficial effects of these plants is related their ability to provide precursors of the prostaglandins where enzymatic* conversion of linoleic acid to gama-linolenic acid is deficient.

 Polyunsaturated Fat Metabolism
The omega-6 fatty acids suppress the metabolism of the omega-3 fatty acids and vice versa, at the rate limiting step (cyclo-oxygenase) and they both suppress the metabolism of n-9 fatty acids.
N-6 linoleic is converted to arachidonic acid and the potent aggregatory prostaglandin thromboxane A2 (in platelet membranes) and leukotriene B
Thus diets rich in corn, safflower, sunflower and peanut oils all of which are high in n-6 and low in n-3 can lead to n-3 fatty acid deficiency, and a high ratio of n-6 to n-3 accentuates this deficiency (Connor AJCN 1999; 69: 827-8).

 CMRO 13-7-1996-417 Prostaglandin and Leukotriene
There is some evidence that the inflammatory process is, at least in part, influenced and caused by prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
The leukotriene synthesis was markedly decreased in concentrations of 10
The prostaglandin synthesis was not affected by 5-ASA (or PAS), as shown in Figures 1 and 2.

 Chemistry Portfolio - Syllabi - Chem 160B   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
The course can be considered to consist of three important and related areas: bioenergetics, the process by which organisms capture, use and transform energy; metabolic pathways, which can be subdivided into catabolic (degradative, oxidative) and anabolic (synthetic, reductive) pathways; and regulation, the process by which metabolism is controlled.
Draw, at a minimum, one metabolic pathway for each of the major groups of macromolecules, and describe the "logic" underpinning the series of reactions.
The group sessions are designed to help you master concepts involving metabolism so that you can apply knowledge gained in lecture to novel problem situations.

 Biozon search engine
A researcher might call up the structures of proteins related to cancer, then identify the genes that code for those proteins.
Or, to take a more technical example, search for "3D structures of proteins that are involved in phosphorylation interactions and are part of the Prostaglandin and leukotriene metabolism pathway." The results returned are ranked, using a first-of-a-kind biological ranking system that resembles the methods implemented in Google.
Beyond complex searches, Biozon also supports"fuzzy" searches that will find things similar to the search key.
