Descriptor ácido araquidónico
Scope note: Ácido graso insaturado esencial. Se encuentra en la grasa de animales y humanos así como en el hígado, cerebro y órganos glandulares, y es constituyente de los fosfátidos animales. Se forma por la síntesis a partir del ácido linoleico de la alimentación y es precursor en la biosíntesis de prostgalndias, tromboxanos y leucotrienos.

Scope note: An unsaturated, essential fatty acid. It is found in animal and human fat as well as in the liver, brain, and glandular organs, and is a constituent of animal phosphatides. It is formed by the synthesis from dietary linoleic acid and is a precursor in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes.
