Inflammation and Lung Cancer: Eicosanoids

Dec 10, 2016 by in ONCOLOGY Comments Off on Inflammation and Lung Cancer: Eicosanoids

Fig. 6.1 Pathways controlling eicosanoid production. Arachidonic acid is incorporated into membrane glycerophospholipids. Activation of cPLA2 hydrolyzes these lipids to produce free AA. Alternatively, AA can be derived from 2-arachidonylglycrol…
