9-OxoODE (9-KODE) is primarily studied for its role in biological signaling and inflammation processes. It is known to act as a bioactive lipid mediator, influencing cellular responses in various physiological and pathological conditions. Research indicates its involvement in oxidative stress pathways, where it can modulate inflammatory responses and contribute to the regulation of immune cell activity. Additionally, 9-KODE has been investigated for its potential impact on cell proliferation and apoptosis, making it a subject of interest in studies related to cancer and other diseases characterized by abnormal cell growth. Its role in lipid peroxidation also highlights its significance in understanding oxidative damage and its implications in aging and degenerative disorders.
