Opis

A prostaglandin is any member of a group of lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from fatty acids and have important functions in the animal body. Every prostaglandin contains 20 carbon atoms, including a 5-carbon ring. This book examines the biological role of prostaglandins in drug discovery, and on immune cells.
