Arachidonic acid
Arachidonic acid is an omega-6 essential fatty acid, a key membrane phospholipid component and a vital precursor for eicosanoid signaling molecules. It is widely used in research to study inflammation models, such as paw edema, and to investigate lipid metabolism and cell signaling pathways in both in vitro and in vivo systems.
