AB The  eicosanoids  are  an  important  group  of  endogenous  fatty  acid  autacoids  that  are  synthesized  from  arachidonic  acid,  a  20-carbon  fatty  acid  lipid  in  cell  membranes.  Families  of  eicosanoids  of  clinical  importance  include  straight-chain  derivatives  (leukotrienes)  and  cyclic  derivatives  (prostacyclin,  prostaglandins,  and  thromboxane).
