ABSTRACT

Each of us may choose very different foods when we are free to select what we want to eat. And the foods may vary greatly from day to day. If eicosanoids are formed from the small tissue pools of rapidly changing nonesterified acids, then even day-today changes in diet can affect the amount and type of eicosanoid formed by our tissues. Researchers do not yet know what influence short-term changes in diet have on eicosanoid actions.
