Oxylipins are a class of bioactive lipid molecules derived from the oxidation of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They play important roles in various physiological processes, including inflammation, immune response, and regulation of cardiovascular function. Oxylipins are produced by enzymes such as cyclooxygenases, lipoxygenases, and cytochrome P450s, and they act as signaling molecules in the body. Research into oxylipins has increased in recent years due to their potential implications in various diseases and conditions, making them a promising target for therapeutic interventions.
