विवरण

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.
