DOWNLOAD EBOOKImportant advances have been made in the chemistry and biochemistry of the leukotrienes mainly as a result of the development of new biophysical and biochemical methodologies. The extraordinary effort of many scientists and the interactions of many scientific disciplines has created a vast amount of data and information and, with it, the need for a book addressing all aspects of this multidisciplinary field. This book has been written to respond to that need. It comprises six chapters which together provide a cohesive interdisciplinary coverage of the field, from the organic, analytical aspect to the biological sciences. Among the many subjects covered are many aspects of the leukotriene field which have not been covered in detail before, i.e. the numerous methodologies employed in the detection, localization and quantitation of lipoxygenase products; the role of leukotrienes in human disease states; leukotriene antagonists and lipoxygenase inhibitors, and potential therapeutic agents. The book brings together a wide variety of material to give a valuable overview of this important subject.
