Lung Eicosanoid Metabolism

Clinics in Chest Medicine, 1989
Eicosanoids are metabolites of the essential fatty acid, arachidonic acid, which is an integral part of all cell membranes. Membrane damage (as in lung injury) and stretching of tissues are recognized stimuli for lung prostaglandin release, indicating a spectrum of possible roles of eicosanoids in the function of the normal and diseased lung.

Eicosanoids and ovulation

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids, 1993
PGs and probably other eicosanoids play a fundamental role in the process of ovulation, more specifically in the mechanism of follicle wall rupture. Although the nature of this role has yet to be established a number of plausible theories exist. It seems likely that altered PG metabolism is responsible for some cases of human female subfertility.

Eicosanoids in neoplasia

Preventive Medicine, 1987
Dietary fat has been shown to exert a wide variety of actions that result in enhanced mammary and colon tumorigenesis. Such a range of mechanisms suggests the involvement of intermediary or secondary messenger molecules. Eicosanoids, produced from arachidonic acid (C20:4, n-6), are known to have various effects on physiological and biochemical events ...
