Beschreibung
N-3 and n-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids follow distinct biosynthetic pathways to produce eicosanoids and specialized pro-resolving mediators. This diagram outlines the synthesis routes from alpha-linolenic acid and arachidonic acid through COX and cytochrome P450 enzymes to their bioactive lipid products.

N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids modulate intestinal innate immunity through multiple receptor and signaling targets. This diagram maps the interactions of DHA and EPA with G-protein coupled receptors, COX enzymes, and caspase recognition domains in intestinal immune cells.

Current IBD treatments employ both immuno-suppressive and immuno-resolving strategies. This diagram contrasts conventional therapies (azathioprine, anti-TNF agents) with emerging PUFA-based approaches that promote active resolution of intestinal inflammation.
