the inhibitory effect of these cyclooxygenase inhibitors suggests that this enzyme is involved in the response to these fatty acids and is in keeping with suggestions in the literature stating that such unsaturated fatty acids may interact with cyclooxygenase even when they can not form prostaglandin ( pg ) endoperoxides , the pg endoperoxide formed by arachidonate or the analogous hydroperoxy compounds formed by linoleic or 11,14,17 eta , may then alter cerebrovascular tone by production of reactive , o2-containing species .
