Product Information
Name:Arachidonic acid - 98%
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Arachidonic acid is a free fatty acid that has been shown to be a potent activator of the oxidative response in human polymorphonuclear leukocytes. This activation results in the production of reactive oxygen species, which may contribute to the inflammatory response associated with infectious diseases, bowel disease, and myocardial infarct. Arachidonic acid also binds to the guanine nucleotide-binding proteins and activates signal pathways involved in cell proliferation and differentiation. Arachidonic acid is metabolized by cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450 enzymes to produce prostaglandins (PGs), leukotrienes (LTs), and hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acids (HETEs). These metabolites are responsible for many of the biological effects of arachidonic acid.
