The role of resolvins in the resolution of inflammation has been demonstrated in several animal models of ALI and ARDS (Gao et al., 2017; Uddin & Levy, 2011; Wang, Yan, Hao, & Jin, 2018; Zhang et al., 2019). These studies carried out using rat and mouse models infected with the E.coli endotoxin, LPS, suggested the pro-resolving effects of these molecules could be attributed, for example, to the suppression of neutrophil infiltration due to reduced expression and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines from alveolar macrophages (Uddin & Levy, 2011; Zhang et al., 2019). Further, it has been demonstrated protectins may reduce the replication of influenza (Morita et al., 2013) and potentially affect the inflammatory manifestations of respiratory viral diseases (Russell & Schwarze, 2014).
