PY - 2009 T2 - Pharmacology for the Physical Therapist AB - Eicosanoids are 20-carbon fatty acids (eicosa- means 20) found in many tissues of the body. These compounds are extremely important in multiple physiologic responses, such as gastric mucosal protection and controlling resistance in various vascular beds. They are also significant mediators of pain and inflammation. Thus, both eicosanoid agonists and antagonists are important, but the antagonists are more commonly used clinically.
