What is the precursor of arachidonic acid in the body?
Precursor of AA is DGLA (dihomogammalinolenic acid) which is a successor of (omega-6) LA. The enzyme d5d (delta-5-desaturase) catalyses the genesis of AA. This step is competetively limited by omega-3 fatty acids beeing catalysed to EPA. Eicosanoids are not precursors of AA, but are made of AA.
What are synthetic cannabinoids?
Synthetic cannabinoids are chemical compounds derived from different plants that activate cb1 and cb2 [among others] in the brain. Endocannabinoids are eicosanoids acting as agonists for cannabinoid receptors and they occur naturally in the body.
What are the precursors for synthesis of the eiconsanoids?
The precursors for synthesis of eicosanoids are fatty acids derived from linolenic (omega-3) and linoleic (omega-6) acids. These fatty acids include eicosapentaenoic acid, eicosatetraenoic acid and dihomo gamma-linolenic acid.
