商品簡介
Twenty papers from a May 1997 conference in Malta demonstrate that a unifying view of lipoxygenases is beginning to take shape and that the experimental evidence of links and conjugations among events occurring from cell membranes to intracellular compartments and the nucleus is becoming increasingly convincing. They cover enzymology, molecular biology, and biological functions in mammals; inhibitors for metabolic regulation; and products of pathways and receptors. Among the specific topics are the release of polyunsaturated fatty acids and their lipoxygenation in the brain, pharmacological aspects of 5-lipoxygenase inhibition, the hepoxilins, and cysteinyl-leukotrienes and the human lung.
