Step-by-step explanation:

Eicosanoids are involved in vasodilation and vasoconstriction, promotion of sleep, pain and fever. They pay a role in up- or down-regulating inflammatory cytokines. What eicosanoids cells produce and their effects depend on the type of cell, the tissue in which that cell is found, and the cell's activation state.
