Advances in Eicosanoid Research

Advances in Eicosanoid Research edited by C.N. Serhan, H.D. Perez.

Over the last few years, we have witnessed tremendous progress in the field of eicosanoids and their therapeutic applications. Receptor an­ tagonists for leukotrienes have been tested as anti-inflammatories and are on the market as a treatment for asthma. Receptor agonists for pro­ stacyclin are bei...
