  1. Apr 28, 2017 · Arachidonic acid is released from cell membranes and metabolized via either the cyclooxygenase pathway or lipoxygenase pathway to produce prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, and lipoxins. 2.

  2. Aug 11, 2023 · The arachidonic acid pathway describes the biosynthesis of eicosanoids from arachidonic acid (AA) including its formation from omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and the synthesis of eicosanoids from eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) including its formation from omega-3 PUFAs.

  3. Jul 16, 2011 · Arachidonic acid is released from membrane phospholipids during tissue injury and converted by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways into eicosanoids like prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.

  4. Feb 26, 2021 · Overview of the arachidonic acid (AA) metabolism pathways. Three major phospholipase enzymes (PLA2, PLC and PLD) are responsible for releasing AA from membrane-bound phospholipids by...

  8. Feb 26, 2021 · The arachidonic acid (AA) pathway plays a key role in cardiovascular biology, carcinogenesis, and many inflammatory diseases, such as asthma, arthritis, etc. Esterified AA on the inner surface of the cell membrane is hydrolyzed to its free form by phospholipase A2 (PLA2), which is in turn further me ….
