Linked from

The 20 pages that link to Arachidonic acid, each with the reason it gives.

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugNarrower topic: It is the substrate from which cyclooxygenase produces prostaglandin precursors.

• AspirinBroader topic: It is the substrate whose conversion aspirin blocks indirectly by inhibiting cyclooxygenase.

• CyclooxygenaseRelated: Cyclooxygenases use it as the substrate for prostaglandin synthesis.

• ProstaglandinRelated: Its release from membrane lipids supplies the main substrate for prostaglandin synthesis.

• EicosanoidRelated: It is the main precursor for many prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.

• Essential fatty acidRelated: It is a downstream product of the omega-6 essential precursor.

• IbuprofenBroader topic: Cyclooxygenase uses this fatty acid as the starting material for prostaglandin synthesis.

• Fish oilCompared with: Its shared enzymes and signaling pathways help explain how EPA can alter lipid mediator production.

• Linoleic acidRelated: The body elongates and desaturates linoleic acid to make this membrane fatty acid.

• Endocannabinoid systemRelated: It forms the fatty-acid backbone of major endocannabinoids and their breakdown products.

• Omega-6 fatty acidBroader topic: It is a prominent long-chain member used to produce signaling molecules.

• Polyunsaturated fatty acidBroader topic: It is a major membrane-bound precursor for eicosanoid synthesis.

• Docosahexaenoic acidCompared with: This abundant membrane fatty acid belongs to the omega-6 family rather than DHA’s omega-3 family.

• Eicosapentaenoic acidCompared with: It competes with EPA in membrane lipids and supplies related signaling pathways.

• NaproxenNarrower topic: It is the starting material in the pathway naproxen indirectly suppresses.

• MontelukastNarrower topic: Leukotrienes targeted by montelukast are produced from this fatty acid.

• AnandamideBroader topic: Its arachidonoyl chain forms the lipid portion of anandamide.

• Arachidic acidCompared with: Despite the similar name and chain length, it is unsaturated rather than saturated.

• MeloxicamNarrower topic: It is the starting material in the pathway meloxicam suppresses.

• IndometacinNarrower topic: It is the starting substrate in the pathway that indometacin interrupts.
