Advances in prostaglandin, leukotriene, and other bioactive lipid research

by International Conference on Advances in Prostaglandin, Leukotriene, and Other Bioactive Lipid Research (12th 2002 Istanbul, Turkey)

This volume, the Proceedings of the 12th International Conference held August 25-29, 2002, in Istanbul, Turkey, discusses advances in bioactive lipid research with special attention to cancer, cardiovascular diseases, gastrointestinal diseases and respiratory diseases. Specific topics covered include the role of leukotrienes and lipoxins in inflammation, the cytochrome P450 pathway, the genetics and genomics of bioactive lipids, lipid peroxidation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, isoprostanes, receptors and inhibitors, cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways and inhibitors, prostaglandin synthases and receptor signaling, phospholipases and inhibitors.
