The addition of nitrogen dioxide (NO<sub>2</sub>) to the double bond of unsaturated fatty acids yields an array of electrophilic nitro-fatty acids (NO<sub>2</sub>-FA) with unique biochemical and signaling properties. During the last decade, NO<sub>2</sub>-FA have been shown to exert a protective role in various inflammatory and metabolic disorders. NO<sub>2</sub>-FA exert their biological effects primarily by regulating two central physiological adaptive responses: the canonical inflammatory sig ...[more]
