    Glossary Arachidonic Acid

    polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid involved in inflammation and signaling

    Arachidonic Acid (AA) is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that is a key component of cell membranes. It plays a crucial role in the body's inflammatory response and is a precursor to various signaling molecules called eicosanoids, which include prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes. These molecules are involved in processes such as inflammation, immunity, and the regulation of blood pressure.
