内容説明
This volume provides in a single source an extensive collection of information on prostaglandins and related eicosanoids. The 57 chapters presented here are divided into ten sections, each devoted to a specialized area of interest, and are the work of a total of 75 authors from over a dozen countries, distributed among four of the world's continents. Prostaglandins are of increasing importance in biomedical science, implicated in every cell, tissue and organ system as regards their cellular biochemistry, physiology and pathophysiolgy. This work is intended to be a valuable source of reference for clinical pharmacologists and those interested in the subject. The significance of the demonstration of the essentiality of dietary linoleic acid, and the coining of the term "essential fatty acid (EFA)" by Burr and Burr (1930), plus the work of Kurzrok and Lieb (1930), Goldblatt (1935) and von Euler (1935), set the scene for the developments charted in this work.
