Verified step by step guidance

Understand what eicosanoids are: Eicosanoids are signaling molecules made by the oxidation of 20-carbon fatty acids. They are involved in various physiological and pathological processes.

Identify the primary functions of eicosanoids: Eicosanoids play a crucial role in inflammation, immunity, and as messengers in the central nervous system. They are also involved in the regulation of blood pressure.

Consider the options given: Protein synthesis, DNA replication, and neurotransmitter release are not primarily regulated by eicosanoids.

Focus on the correct answer: Eicosanoids are known to regulate blood pressure by affecting the contraction and relaxation of blood vessel walls.

Conclude the reasoning: Since eicosanoids are involved in the regulation of blood pressure, this is the function where they play an important role, as opposed to the other options provided.
