Used primarily in research settings to study inflammatory processes and cellular signaling pathways. It serves as a biomarker for oxidative stress and inflammation, particularly in cardiovascular and pulmonary studies. Additionally, it aids in understanding the role of prostaglandins in various physiological and pathological conditions, such as pain, fever, and immune responses. Its applications extend to investigating the effects of oxidative damage on lipids and the development of therapeutic interventions targeting prostaglandin-related pathways.
