Explanation:

Fatty acid derivatives in tiny concentrations can exert profound effects on cellular physiological or pathophysiological reactions. These derivatives are classified according to the enzymatic pathways of their formation. The cyclooxygenase (COX) pathway products include prostaglandins, prostacyclins, and thromboxanes, collectively referred to as prostanoids. The lipoxygenase pathway products include leukotrienes and lipoxins. The term eicosanoids is a collective name for molecules derived from 20-carbon fatty acids. Thus, there can be prostaglandin and leukotriene forms of eicosanoids. Fatty acids of the linoleic acid family are the main source of eicosanoids, with arachidonic acid (an omega-6 fatty acid) being the major precursor. Polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs; omega-3 and omega-6), released from the plasma membrane phospholipids by the action of phospholipase A2, are also metabolized by COX-1 and COX-2 to form prostaglandins and thromboxanes.
