Pathways in active eicosanoid metabolism from arachidonic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. n-6 and n-3 essential fatty acids precursors are linoleic acid (LA) and −linolenic acid (ALA). These precursors are metabolized into arachidonic acid (AA) and eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) respectively. AA is metabolized into derivatives that belong to the eicosanoid family, series 2 and 4. EPA and DHA metabolic derivatives belong to the eicosanoid family, series 3 and 5, resolving family (series D and E) and neuroprotectins. Tx: thromboxane; PG: prostaglandines; COX-2: cycloxygenase 2; LT: leukotrienes; LOX: lipoxygenase; Lx: lipoxin; NPD1: neuroprotectin D1 (Laye, 2015).
