This hypothesis proposes that 15-lipoxygenase (15-LOX) enzymatically converts docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) into specialized pro-resolving mediators (SPMs), specifically resolvin D1 (RvD1) and protectin D1 (PD1), to combat neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's disease rather than focusing on membrane rigidification. The mechanism centers on 15-LOX's ability to perform stereoselective oxygenation of DHA at the 17S position, initiating a biosynthetic cascade that produces these potent anti-inflammatory an
This hypothesis proposes that LXRβ-selective agonists enhance CYP2J2 expression and activity to increase protective DHA epoxide generation, simultaneously addressing both cholesterol dysregulation and membrane rigidification in Alzheimer's disease. LXR signaling is known to upregulate cytochrome P450 enzymes involved in lipid metabolism, including CYP2J2, through direct transcriptional control. By selectively activating LXRβ, this approach would increase endogenous CYP2J2-mediated conversion of
