TAILIEUCHUNG - Synopsis of arachidonic acid metabolism: A review

Arachidonic acid (AA), a 20 carbon chain polyunsaturated fatty acid with 4 double bonds, is an integral constituent of biological cell membrane, conferring it with fluidity and flexibility. The four double bonds of AA predispose it to oxygenation that leads to a plethora of metabolites of considerable importance for the proper function of the immune system, promotion of allergies and inflammation, resolving of inflammation, mood, and appetite. The present review presents an illustrated synopsis of AA metabolism, corroborating the instrumental importance of AA derivatives for health and well-being. It provides a comprehensive outline on AA metabolic pathways, enzymes and signaling cascades, in order to develop new perspectives in disease treatment and diagnosis. | Journal of Advanced Research 11 2018 23-32 Contents lists available at ScienceDirect Journal of Advanced Research journal homepage locate jare Review Synopsis of arachidonic acid metabolism A review Violette Said Hanna Ebtisam Abdel Aziz Hafez Chemistry Department Faculty of Science Cairo University Giza 12613 Egypt Check for updates GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT Sites of hydrolysis for each phospholipase PLA1 PLA2 PLC and PLD .
