title: [Activation of arachidonic acid].
abstract: Intravenous injection of arachidonic acid induces cardiovascular and respiratory effects due to its transformation into prostaglandins, This activation could take place not only in the platelets but also in the vacular wall. Platelet aggregation induced by arachidonic acid is not the main factor responsible of its cardiovascular actions.
