fish oil contains the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoate , and the biosynthesis of thromboxanes and prostacyclins from eicosapentaenoate ( thromboxane a3 and prostaglandin i3 ) , rather than from the usual precursor arachidonate ( thromboxane a2 and prostaglandin i2 ) , may help to reduce the risk .
