As the highly anticipated update to Lipid Second Messengers (CRC Press, 1999), Lipid-Mediating Signaling is a current and comprehensive overview of research methods used in lipid-mediated signal transduction. Pioneering experts provide a much-needed distillation of a decade s worth of advances in research techniques that are pertinent in understanding how lipid-mediated signal transduction ties to pathologic disorders.

Part I describes methods used to identify activities of and assay the expression of different enzymes involved in lipid-mediated...
