Abstract

Arachidonic acid (AA), the precursor of prostaglandins (PGs) and other biological active substances, is found mainly esterified to membrane phospholipids, almost exclusively in the 2-acyl position, from which it could be released by the action of lipases (Lands and Samuelson, 1968; Vogt, 1978) and reincorporated by a deacylation-reacylation cycle (for reviews see Hill and Lands, 1970; Holub and Kuksis, 1978; Irvine, 1982).
