MediatorFunctionReference

MaRsМaR1Reduces expression of IL-5 and IL-13, decreases lung neutrophils, tissue hypoxia[117]
RvsRvE1Decreases in airway hyperresponsiveness, regulation of neutrophil chemotaxis, activation of phagocytosis, and synthesis of anti-inflammatory cytokines[117121]
RvD1Reduces synthesis of proinflammatory mediators and eosinophilia
РDsРD1Decreases airway hyperresponsiveness[116, 122124]
LXsLXA4Slows down chemotaxis and migration to the area of inflammation of macrophages and neutrophils, blocks lipid peroxidation, activates NF-κB, and inhibits the synthesis of proinflammatory cytokines[117, 125128]
