Essential Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids: Invited Papers from the Fourth International CongressRudolph A. Riemersma This book focuses on essential fatty acids and eicosanoids and their role in health and disease. The group of 90 invited papers from the Fourth International Congress on Essential Fatty Acids and Eicosanoids includes such topics as: gene expression of eicosanoids; eicosanoid receptors; and the role of essential fatty acids and eicosanoids in development in utero and early life, diabetes, inflammation and the immune response, alcoholism, schizophrenia, cancer, and vascular disease. |
