**'''Icosanoides'''.- Son lípidos que derivan de la ciclación, entre los carbonos 8 y 12, y porterior oxidación del ácido graso poliinsaturado de 20 carbonos denominado <scene name='72/721496/Araquidonico/1'>ácido araquidónico</scene>. Existen diferentes tipos de ''icosanoides'', como los ''tromboxanos'', los ''leucotrienos'' y las <scene name='72/721496/Prostaglandinas/2'>prostaglandinas</scene> . Tienen funciones de naturaleza hormonal y reguladora coordinando distintos tipos de procesos en el organismo. En particular las prostaglandinas participan en el control de la respuesta inflamatoria en los tejidos animales.
