Fatty acids have several biological functions in the organism. They provide energy, they form part of the membranes surrounding cells. Besides, they are precursors of some specific chemical messengers known as prostaglandines, tromboxanes and leucotrienes. These chemical messengers control an important number of biochemical reactions, that include growth, cell division, blood pressure, blood coagulation, immune reactions and tissue inflammation.
