... of the reported abnormalities associated with the synthesis of membrane fatty acids in individuals with autism as a result of insufficient dietary supplementation or genetic defects. Moreover, we discuss deficits associated with the release of arachidonic acid from the membrane phospholipids and its subsequent...

... and cognitive dysfunction of depression. Likewise, eicosapentaenoic acid is important in balancing the immune function and physical health by reducing membrane arachidonic acid (an n–6 PUFA) and prostaglandin E 2 synthesis, which might be linked to the somatic manifestations and physical comorbidity...

...Jessica Erriquez; Alessandra Gilardino; Paolo Ariano; Luca Munaron; Davide Lovisolo; Carla Distasi Arachidonic acid (AA, 20:4) has been reported to modulate a variety of calcium-permeable ionic channels, both in the plasma membrane and in the endoplasmic reticulum. We have studied the effects of AA...

... kinase C, Ca 2+ entry through voltage-sensitive channels and calmodulin. However, sGnRH-induced GTH release also involves arachidonic acid and intracellular Ca 2+ components absent from its action on GH, as well as from cGnRH-II action on GTH and GH secretion. The relative roles and interactions...
