Oxylipins are lipid mediators generated during infection for regulating inflammatory responses, but how they are removed is not completely clear. Here the authors show that cellular oxylipin removal is linked to mitochondria β-oxidation by CPT1, a mitochondria lipid importer protein, to serve as a metabolic checkpoint for oxylipin homeostasis and inflammation.
