| The endothelium prevents platelets from adhering by manufacturing prostacyclin from arachidonic acid. |
| The levels of vaccenic acid, linoleic acid, linolenic acid, arachidonic acid, docosapentaenoic acid, DHA and lignoceric acid were lowest in winter and highest in spring. |
| Taken orally, zileuton inhibits the 5-LO enzyme, which would otherwise catalyze the formation of leukotrienes from arachidonic acid. |
| Psoriatic plaques have been shown to increase arachidonic acid and leukotriene levels compared to normal skin. |
| These biologically active agents are derived from arachidonic acid and include prostaglandins, leukotrienes and thromboxanes. |
| Prostaglandins and leukotrienes from arachidonic acid metabolism are highly inflammatory molecules, and play an important role in the pathophysiology of asthma. |
