what are eicosanoids?name the three subclasses of
eicosanoids?
Answer Posted / swetha
eicosanoids are signaling molecules made by oxidation of
twenty-carbon essential fatty acids, (EFAs). They exert
complex control over many bodily systems, mainly in
inflammation or immunity, and as messengers in the central
nervous system. The networks of controls that depend upon
eicosanoids are among the most complex in the human
body.There are four families of eicosanoids—the
prostaglandins, prostacyclins, the thromboxanes and the
leukotrienes.
