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.

Eicosanoid Pathways and Inflammation in Sickle Cell Vaso-Occlusion: A Review
International journal of medical sciences and pharma researchSickle cell anemia (SCA) is a genetic blood disorder characterized by the production of abnormal hemoglobin S, leading to the deformation of red blood cells (RBCs) into a sickle shape. This deformation results in recurrent vaso-occlusive crises (VOCs), a

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 ...

Not all eicosanoids are bad [PDF]
Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, 2006 Although considerable attention has been focused on elucidating the factors that drive inflammation, it is becoming clear that this "acceleration" state is offset by an internal "handbrake". A recent study has uncovered an essential component of this handbrake system, revealing that lipoxins trigger suppressors of cytokine signalling to dampen ...

radiotherapy depends on the tolerance of the critical normal tissue within the radiation field. Consequently, any attempt to improve the efficacy of radiotherapy must be aimed at increasing tumour radioresponse and/or reducing normal tissue complications. To achieve this objective, many diverse approaches have been investigated, including modulation of

Eicosanoids are a class of molecules derived from 20-carbon (“eicosa” is Greek for 20) polyunsaturated fatty acids, most frequently arachidonic acid. The eicosanoids include the prostaglandins (PG), thromboxanes (TX), leukotrienes (LT), and lipoxins (LX).

Immune-regulation and -functions of eicosanoid lipid mediators
Biological chemistry, 2017Bioactive lipids regulate most physiological processes, from digestion to blood flow and from hemostasis to labor. Lipid mediators are also involved in multiple pathologies including cancer, autoimmunity or asthma.

Eicosanoide und Phospholipasen
Klinische Wochenschrift, 1985Prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes have been implicated to play an important role in physiology as well as in a growing list of pathophysiologic conditions. These oxidation products of 8.11.14-eicosatrienoic-, 5.8.11.14.-eicosatetraenoic-, and 5.8.11.14.17.-pentaenoic acids have been collectively designated eicosanoids.

Psoriasis is clinically and histologically characterized by, among others, the following phenomena: epidermal hyperproliferation [ 11, disturbed differentiation of the epidermis, dilation of capillaries in the upper dermis, and infiltration of neutrophils [ 21 and mononuclear inflammatory cells [3] in the dermis.

Preeclampsia is characterized by an imbalance between two cyclooxygenase metabolites of arachidonic acid, thromboxane and prostacyclin, that favors thromboxane. Because of the biologic actions of these two eicosanoids, this imbalance might explain major clinical symptoms of preeclampsia, such as hypertension, platelet aggregation and reduced ...
