Abstract
Oxylipins represent large families of bioactive lipids generated through the oxygenation of fatty acids. Although originally discovered almost 100 years ago, significant interest in these lipids continues today with many important discoveries on their structures and functions still being made, particularly in regards to mammalian biology. This review will highlight some aspects of the current status of the field, focusing on recent findings that continue to challenge our views about how oxylipins are made and act in human health and disease. Areas to be covered include: an update on the ever-expanding roles of PGE2 in cancer, octadecanoid structures and nomenclature, complex forms of oxylipins, and challenges and considerations for oxylipin analysis including potential clinical utility.
