Bioactive lipids or lipid mediators influence numerous processes like the reproduction, the bone turnover, the pain perception, the cardiovascular function and the immune system. Eicosanoids and oxylipins are parts of the immunomodulatory lipid mediators, which can be synthesized from polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) by enzymatic and non-enzymatic reactions. Typical members of eicosanoids are prostaglandins and leukotrienes. The properties of bioactive lipids include the activation of inflammatory reactions as well as the support of resolution. Like hormones, they act locally restricted and in low concentrations. Further bioactive lipids exist i.e. intermediates of the sphingolipid class. The biosynthesis of some of these compounds like ...
