Spector A, Deo N, Grosh K, Ratnanather J, Raphael R
J Membr Biol
. 2006 Jun;
209(2-3):135-52.
PMID: 16773498
The outer hair cell (OHC) is an extremely specialized cell and its proper functioning is essential for normal mammalian hearing. This article reviews recent developments in theoretical modeling that have...

Modeling 3-D deformation of outer hair cells and their production of the active force in the cochlea
Spector A, Ameen M, Schmiedt R
Biomech Model Mechanobiol
. 2003 Nov;
1(2):123-35.
PMID: 14595545
We analyze the deformation of the outer hair cell and its production of active force under physiological conditions. The active force has two components. One results from the strain caused...

Prostaglandins Leukot Essent Fatty Acids
. 2002 Sep;
67(2-3):99-104.
PMID: 12324227
Astrocytes convert n-6 fatty acids primarily to arachidonic acid (20:4n-6), whereas n-3 fatty acids are converted to docosapentaenoic (22:5n-3) and docosahexaenoic (22:6n-3) acids. The utilization of 20-, 22- and 24-carbon...

J Physiol
. 2001 Dec;
537(Pt 3):811-27.
PMID: 11744757
1. We examined the effects of epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), which are cytochrome P450 metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA), on the activities of the ATP-sensitive K(+) (K(ATP)) channels of rat cardiac...

Ferdinandusse S, Denis S, Mooijer P, Zhang Z, Reddy J, Spector A, et al.
J Lipid Res
. 2001 Dec;
42(12):1987-95.
PMID: 11734571
DHA (C22:6n-3) is an important PUFA implicated in a number of (patho)physiological processes. For a long time, the exact mechanism of DHA formation has remained unclear, but now it is...

Williard D, Harmon S, Kaduce T, Preuss M, Moore S, Robbins M, et al.
J Lipid Res
. 2001 Aug;
42(9):1368-76.
PMID: 11518755
DHA, the main n-3 PUFA in the brain, is synthesized from n-3 PUFA precursors by astrocytes. To assess the potential of this process to supply DHA for the brain, we...

J Physiol
. 2001 Aug;
534(Pt 3):651-67.
PMID: 11483698
1. Dihydroxyeicosatrienoic acids (DHETs), which are metabolites of arachidonic acid (AA) and epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs), have been identified as highly potent endogenous vasodilators, but the mechanisms by which DHETs induce...
