Eicosanoids and Related Compounds in Plants and Animals /

Eicosanoids and Related Compounds in Plants and Animals / / ed. by A. F. Rowley, T. Schewe, Hartmut Kühn.

Eicosanoids are a diverse group of biologically active molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acid precursors. This volume draws together for the first time a series of overviews on the biosynthesis and functional significance of these and related compounds in a wide range of animals, plants,...
