Resolvins*, SPMs and Eicosanoids in Human Subjects with COVID-19 Infections.

Reference Findings Source
Schwarz et al. [31] Dysregulation of eicosanoids increases 5-lipoxygenase, leukotriene, prostaglandins, EETs, specific resolvins in severe illness, decreases 12-LOX (ALOX12) and COX-2; immune lipid mediator metabolome imbalance in severe COVID-19 Serum
Archambault et al. [23] Predominance of prostaglandins, thromboxane, LTB4 and leukotrienes; increased lipoxin A4 and D-series resolvins Bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL)
Proinflammatory eicosanoids and SPMs were elevated in COVID-19 BAL

The potential for resolvins and other SPMs as new therapeutic approaches in the resolution of inflammation was recognized early by inflammation experts [196] from the time of their initial discovery; see [197].
