The 17 pages that link to Eicosanoid, each with the reason it gives.

• Fatty acidRelated: Certain fatty acids are precursors to this family of local signals.

• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugNarrower topic: Prostaglandins belong to this broader family of lipid mediators.

• CytokineCompared with: Unlike protein cytokines, eicosanoids are lipid mediators with distinct synthesis and signaling.

• Omega-3 fatty acidRelated: EPA can serve as a precursor to signaling molecules in this family.

• CyclooxygenaseNarrower topic: Cyclooxygenase makes one major branch of this broader signaling family.

• ProstaglandinNarrower topic: Prostaglandins belong to this broader family of locally acting lipid mediators.

• SteroidCompared with: Unlike steroids, eicosanoids arise from fatty acids and generally act locally.

• Arachidonic acidNarrower topic: Arachidonic acid is a major precursor for this broader family.

• LipidBroader topic: It illustrates how lipid molecules can act as short-range signals.

• Fish oilRelated: EPA competes with arachidonic acid as a precursor for several eicosanoid pathways.

• SteroidogenesisCompared with: These lipid mediators share lipid precursors but are not steroid hormones.

• Linoleic acidNarrower topic: Linoleic acid can feed into pathways that produce their precursor, arachidonic acid.

• Lipid metabolismBroader topic: Lipid remodeling releases precursors for locally acting signals such as prostaglandins.

• Fatty acid elongationRelated: Elongation helps set the chain length of some eicosanoid precursors.

• Omega-6 fatty acidNarrower topic: Arachidonic acid supplies a major set of eicosanoid precursors.

• Polyunsaturated fatty acidRelated: Enzymes convert polyunsaturated precursors into locally acting signals.

• Eicosapentaenoic acidNarrower topic: EPA is converted into eicosanoids that can influence inflammation, blood flow, and clotting.
