“…CYP4F enzymes are also expressed in neurons and glia, and LTB 4 hydroxylase activity limits neuroinflammation in mouse models (Sehgal et al, 2011). Genetic association studies link variants of the CYP4F3 and CYP4F2 genes with celiac disease and Crohn's disease, inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract (Costea et al, 2010;Curley, Monsuur, Wapenaar, Rioux, & Wijmenga, 2006). The relevance of LTB 4 inactivation is inferred from studies that showed reduced LTB 4 ω-hydroxylase activity in neutrophils and colonic mucosa from patients with IBD (Ikehata et al, 1995).…”
