It covers the fatty acid biosynthesis pathway, key enzymes like fatty acid synthase (FAS), and regulatory mechanisms. Also discussed are eicosanoids like prostaglandins, their biosynthesis from polyunsaturated fatty acids, and enzyme mechanisms catalyzed by cyclooxygenases (COX) and lipoxygenases (LOX).
