This lecture will delve into the high level overview of the arachidonic acid pathway, a crucial component of the body's inflammatory response. We will explore the role of phospholipase A2 (PLA2) in the release of arachidonic acid, followed by a detailed examination of cyclooxygenase enzymes, COX-1 and COX-2, in the conversion of arachidonic acid into various prostaglandins and thromboxanes. The discussion will also emphasize the importance of balancing omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids in the diet, highlighting their opposing roles in inflammation and health. Designed for healthcare professionals, but accessible to a lay audience, this lecture aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of these pathways and their implications for clinical practice and everyday health.

Objectives:

  • What is Arachidonic Acid (AA)?
  • How are omega-6 and AA related?
  • How is AA integrated in our cell membranes?
  • How is AA mobilized from the cell membrane?
  • Actions of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase on AA.
  • Clinical aspects of AA.
