CORE FOUNDATIONS FOR MEDICINE TUTORIAL ON EICOSANOIDS
Eicosanoids are synthesized primarily from arachidonic acid, an ω-6 unsaturated fatty acid.

Arachidonic acid, a 20-carbon ω-6 unsaturated fatty acid.

The next few slides will show you how extracellular signals trigger the release of arachidonic acid from the membrane, thereby starting the process of eicosanoid production.
