In this article we will discuss about the Formation and Synthesis of Eicosanoids. Formation of Eicosanoids: 1. Eicosanoids formed from arachidonate and some other C20 fatty acids with methylene-interrupted bonds, physiologically and pharmacologically active compounds known as prostaglandins (PG), thromboxane's (TX), and leukotriene's (LT). Physiologically, they are considered to act as local hormones. 2. Arachidonic acid, usually derived from the [...]
