Answer» Right OPTION is (a) eicosanoids For explanation: Eicosanoids are non-polar, 20-carbon containing molecules derived from the fatty ACID, arachidonic acid. Eicosanoids REGULATE processes like blood pressure, INFLAMMATION, blood clotting. Several over-the-counter drugs used to TREAT headaches inhibit eicosanoid synthesis.
