Since their discovery over 60 years ago, eicosanoids have come to
represent a diverse family of bioactive lipid modulators, including
prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, lipoxins, isoprostanes,
hepoxilins, hydroxy acids, epoxy and hydroxy fatty acids. This book
contains conference presentations regarding the regulation of
eicosanoid enzymes and, in particular, cyclooxygenases,
lipoxygenases, and phospholipases. In addition, the latest evidence
over the last seven years has led to the identification of a number
of receptors for these bioactive lipids. The new field of
isoprostanes is also represented. It has become increasingly
evident that eicosanoids play a critical role in signal
transduction, both in normal cells and in pathological processes.
These aspects are discussed in relation to cellular events, such as
apoptosis, angiogenesis, and cancer prevention and treatment.
