Description

This volume of conference proceedings reports major breakthroughs in the potential for development of novel types of anti-inflammatory drugs and the clinical applications of anti-allergy (particularly anti-asthma) drugs. The major subject sections of the book explore important new investigations and studies on: phospholipases; cyclooxygenase pathways; lipoxygenase pathways; biosynthesis inhibitors; cytochrome P450 and other oxygenase products; isoprostanes; receptors; immunology; inflammation; the respiratory system; the cardiovascular and renal systems; blood cells and vascular wall; cell differentiation and proliferation; PAF; nitric oxide; ocular prostaglandins; the use of PGE1 in erectile dysfunction; and antagonists. The field of eicosanoids continues to develop at a rapid pace. This volume aims to keep readers abreast of the broad spectrum of topics and disciplines in which the study of prostaglandins and related compounds have proceeded. The book is both theoretical and practical and offers reviews of recent relevant investigations.
