A simplified depiction of the arachidonic acid cascade where the green ellipses represent the enzymes and boxes represent the substrates and products associated with the pathway. The prostaglandins and thromboxane produced in the eicosanoid pathway are metabolites of cyclooxygenases (COXs) and highlighted in pink. The leukotrienes shown in orange are the metabolites of 5-lipoxygenase (5-LOX). Other metabolites produced by LOXs are shown in yellow.
