Arachidonic Acid in Cell Signaling

Arachidonic Acid in Cell Signaling by Daniele Piomelli.

This book is about the arachidonic acid cascade, its biochemistry, its pharmacology, and its roles in signal transduction. Arachidonic acid may serve as an intracellular second messenger in many cell types, as well as precursor for biologically active molecules such as the eicosanoids (a family of o...
