Isoprostanes, neuroprostanes and phytoprostanes: An overview of 25 years of research in chemistry and biology

JM Galano, YY Lee, C Oger, C Vigor… - Progress in lipid …, 2017 - Elsevier
Since the beginning of the 1990's diverse types of metabolites originating from
polyunsaturated fatty acids, formed under autooxidative conditions were discovered. Known as …

[HTML][HTML] Dietary fatty acids promote lipid droplet diversity through seipin enrichment in an ER subdomain

Z Cao, Y Hao, CW Fung, YY Lee, P Wang, X Li… - Nature …, 2019 - nature.com
Exogenous metabolites from microbial and dietary origins have profound effects on host
metabolism. Here, we report that a sub-population of lipid droplets (LDs), which are conserved …

Synthesis, discovery, and quantitation of dihomo‐isofurans: biomarkers for in vivo adrenic acid peroxidation

A de La Torre, YY Lee, C Oger, PT Sangild… - Angewandte …, 2014 - Wiley Online Library
The growing importance of lipidomics, and the interest of non‐enzymatic metabolites of
polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) prompted us to initiate the synthesis of novel dihomo‐IsoF …

Total syntheses and in vivo quantitation of novel neurofuran and dihomo‐isofuran derived from docosahexaenoic acid and adrenic acid

A de La Torre, YY Lee, A Mazzoni… - … A European Journal, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Neurofurans (NeuroFs) and dihomo‐isofurans (dihomo‐IsoFs) are produced in vivo by non‐enzymatic
free‐radical pathways from docosahexaenoic and adrenic acids, respectively. As …

Nonenzymatic oxygenated metabolite of docosahexaenoic acid, 4(RS)‐4‐F4t‐neuroprostane, acts as a bioactive lipid molecule in neuronal cells

YY Lee, JM Galano, HH Leung, L Balas, C Oger… - FEBS …, 2020 - Wiley Online Library
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), an abundant fatty acid in the brain, is susceptible to auto‐oxidation
in situ and releases metabolites such as F 4 ‐neuroprostane (4‐F 4t ‐NeuroP). The …

The novelty of phytofurans, isofurans, dihomo-isofurans and neurofurans: Discovery, synthesis and potential application

C Cuyamendous, A de La Torre, YY Lee, KS Leung… - Biochimie, 2016 - Elsevier
… Later, the combined groups of Galano/Durand and Lee discovered the dihomo-IsoFs derived
from AdA in pig brain [9]. Recently, this join collaborative effort also identified the PhytoFs …

Extra virgin olive oil reduced polyunsaturated fatty acid and cholesterol oxidation in rodent liver: is this accounted for hydroxytyrosol-fatty acid conjugation?

YY Lee, C Crauste, H Wang, HH Leung… - Chemical Research …, 2016 - ACS Publications
The effects of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl 4 ) induced oxidative
stress in rats were determined by the generation of isoprostanoids. These are known to be …
