“Derivatives of alpha-linolenic acid 15-HETE and prostaglandin E1 (PGE1) have weak pro-inflammatory action, or even anti-inflammatory (PGE1), and additionally, they inhibit the transformation of arachidonic acid (AA) to leukotriens.”
“ Prostaglandin E1 , prostacyclin, carbacyclin, forskolin or dibutyryl cAMP prevented platelet activation by and desensitization to AA and to U46619 under conditions where the formation of thromboxane B2 was not significantly modified.”

“Since PGE1 blocks mobilisation of arachidonic acid , a lack of PGE1 is likely to be associated with arachidonate mobilisation and an excess of 2 series PGs.”
“Furthermore, dBcAMP and PGE1 both inhibit platelet aggregation induced by either arachidonic acid or prostaglandin H2 without affecting the production of prostaglandin metabolites from these compounds.”
