 The Resolution of Inflammation: A Nutritional Issue
Resolvins create "stop signals" and thus dampen inflammation; they appear to reduce cytokine activity and the chemotactic recruitment of neutrophils and their pro-inflammatory activity,
This is because the same enzymes are utilized in the biosynthesis of n-6 eicosanoids and n-3 eicosanoids and resolvins, such that our substantial n-6 intake serves to functionally inhibit the production of n-3-derived anti-inflammatory mediators.
Without resolvins, it is likely that inflammation will persist without resolution, leading to chronic inflammatory disease in the long term and persistent pain throughout life.

 Omega 3 Fights Inflammation
In fact, it was discovered that a diet high in oily fish might be the most beneficial, as a key anti-inflammatory fat in humans is derived from a fatty acid found in fish oil.
The anti-inflammatory fats are resolvins, specifically made from the omega-3 fatty acids found in oily fish.
However, one form of resolvins in particular, known as E1, is thought to play a critical role in inflammation.

We have recently elucidated several novel classes of lipid-derived mediators, the lipoxins, Resolvins, Docosatrienes, and Neuroprotectins, as well as their endogenous aspirin-triggered forms that dampen inflammatory responses and have designed novel therapeutic approaches using some of these structures as biotemplates.
In eye inflammation, new drugs built with the knowledge of these biochemical signaling pathways could be more potent and better tolerated since they are based on structures of endogenous natural compounds.
Also, since the eye is rich in DHA, the novel neuroprotectins may have a physiological role in protecting the eye from inflammation-initiated injury.

(57) The present invention is generally drawn to novel isolated therapeutic agents, termed resolvins, generated from the interaction between a dietary omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) or docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), cyclooxygenase-II (COX-2) and an analgesic, such as aspirin (ASA).
Surprisingly, careful isolation of compounds generated from the combination of components in an appropriate environment provide di- and tri-hydroxy EPA or DHA compounds having unique structural and physiological properties.
The present invention therefore provides for many new useful therapeutic di- or tri-hydroxy derivatives of EPA or DHA (resolvins) that diminish, prevent, or eliminate inflammation or PMN migration, for example.

Here, we report that lipidomic analysis of exudates obtained in the resolution phase from mice treated with ASA and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) (C22:6) produce a novel family of bioactive 17R-hydroxy-containing di- and tri-hydroxy-docosanoids termed resolvins.
These results indicate that exudates, vascular, leukocytes and neural cells treated with aspirin convert DHA to novel 17R-hydroxy series of docosanoids that are potent regulators.
These biosynthetic pathways utilize omega-3 DHA and EPA during multicellular events in resolution to produce a family of protective compounds, i.e., resolvins, that enhance proresolution status.
