A decrease in the oxidative damage to low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol is one of the protective mechanisms in which a traditional Mediterranean diet exerts a protective effect on coronary heart disease development.
Human resolvin E1 inhibits both the migration of inflammatory cells to sites of inflammation and the turning on of other inflammatory cells. Aspirin-triggered resolivins are made from omega-3 fatty acids by cellular enzymes. COX-2 inhibitors also inhibit
