Abstract

A review of the main experimental results in the field of studying the interaction in vivo and in vitro of enzyme systems responsible for the metabolism of arachidonic acid is presented. Metabolic events from its release from phospholipids (phospholipase A2) to its transformation (cytochromes P450) into the most important intracellular messengers of external signal transmission to the internal "language of the cell" are discussed.
