Anti-Inflammatory Eicosanoids

Meaning

Anti-inflammatory eicosanoids are a class of lipid mediators derived primarily from polyunsaturated fatty acids that actively work to resolve and dampen systemic or localized inflammatory responses. These bioactive molecules serve as crucial endogenous signals that promote the cessation of inflammation, facilitating the return to physiological homeostasis. They are integral to the body’s resolution phase following acute inflammatory challenges, supporting overall metabolic and hormonal balance.
