The biosynthesis pathway of eicosanoids derived from arachidonic acid, such as
prostaglandins and leukotrienes, relates to the pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus (DM). A
better understanding of how lipid mediators modulate the inflammatory process may help
recognize key factors underlying the progression of diabetes complications. Our review
presents recent knowledge about eicosanoid synthesis and signaling in DM-related
complications, and discusses eicosanoid-related target therapeutics.
