| docosahexaenoate | |
| linoleic acid | A doubly unsaturated fatty acid, occurring widely in plant glycosides. It is an essential fatty acid in mammalian nutrition and is used in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and cell membranes. (From Stedman, 26th ed) |
| gamma-linolenic acid | An omega-6 fatty acid produced in the body as the delta 6-desaturase metabolite of linoleic acid. It is converted to dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid, a biosynthetic precursor of monoenoic prostaglandins such as PGE1. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) |
| alpha-linolenic acid | A fatty acid that is found in plants and involved in the formation of prostaglandins. |
| Coenzyme A | |
| arachidonic acid | 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. |
| 8,11,14-eicosatrienoic acid | A 20-carbon-chain fatty acid, unsaturated at positions 8, 11, and 14. It differs from arachidonic acid, 5,8,11,14-eicosatetraenoic acid, only at position 5. |
| 11,14-trans-eicosadienoic acid | |
| 13,16-docosadienoic acid | RN refers to (Z,Z)-isomer |
| 11,14,17-eicosatrienoate | |
| stearidonic acid | RN given refers to cpd with unknown MF; 18:4 n-3 fatty acid |
| adrenic acid | RN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation |
