Arachidonic acid is a 20:4(delta5,8,11,14) derivative fatty acid from linoleic acid. Linoleic and linolenic acids are "essential fatty acids" for mammals and they must be consumed from plant sources. Once consumed, linoleic acid may be converted to other polyunsaturated acids, particularly gamma-linoleic acid, eicosatrienoate and arachidonic acid (or eicosatetranoate) which can be only from linoleic acid.
