Описание: This volume represents a collection of contributions from the 6th International Conference on Eicosanoids and Other Bioactive Lipids in Cancer, Inflammation, and Related Diseases held in Boston from September 12-15, 1999.
Описание: Represents a collection of manuscripts dealing with the roles and actions of lipid mediators and their impact on human physiology and disease pathogenesis. This work focuses on cancer, inflammation and cardiovascular disease. It also discusses the advances in the formation and actions of lipid mediators at the molecular and cellular level.

Описание: Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes, and Cancer is a multi-volume series that will focus on an emerging area of cancer research. In 1968, R.H. Williams first reported that elevated prostaglandin levels are present in human medullary car- cinoma. Since that time, the concept that arachidonic acid metabolites may be in- volved in cancer has expanded to include every aspect of the disease from cell transformation through metastasis. Prostaglandins and leukotrienes are generic terms used to describe a family of bioactive lipids produced from unsaturated fatty acids (principally from arachidonic acid) via the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways, respec- tively. Cyclooxygenase products consist of diverse products such as prosta- glandin Ez (PGEz), prostacyclin (PGIz) and thromboxane Az (TXAz), whereas lipoxygenase products consist of hydroperoxy fatty acids and mono-, di- and tri-hydroxy acids including leukotrienes. The precursor fatty acids for the cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathways are present in cellular phospholipids. This finding established an important control point in their biosynthesis-the release of substrate. This occurs in response to numerous stimuli that act at the cell surface. Dr. Bengt Samuelsson's extensive study of the metabolism of pros- taglandins indicated that they are rapidly inactivated on a single pass through pulmonary circulation. Thus, they cannot act as circulating hormones and appear to be made on demand in or in the vicinity of target tissues leading to the concept that prostaglandins are local hormones or autocoids.

Описание: This book records the proceedings of the 5th International Symposium on cancer topics organised in collaboration with the Association for International Cancer Research, a cancer charity based in the United Kingdom. The Symposium was held at the Klinikum Steglitz, Free University of West Berlin, Germany, between 1 and 3 October 1987. The Organising and Scientific Committees are deeply grateful to the President of the Free University, Professor Heckelmann, for allowing us to meet in the Klinikum Steglitz and for the University's generous financial support. It was a special pleasure to have a positive and generous input from the West Berlin Senate. Their support was crucial in making the Symposium a scientific success. The Symposium received financial support from a number of sponsors, and we are indeed happy to acknowledge our gratitude to them: Behringwerke AG, Bert- hold AG, Boehringer Mannheim GmbH, the British Council, Deutsche Abbott GmbH, Deutsche Bank AG, Du Pont De Nemours GmbH, Knoll AG, Krewel- werke GmbH, Nunc GmbH, Schering AG, Schwarz GmbH and Varian GmbH. The Symposium was the most ambitious so far mounted by the Association for International Cancer Research. The organisation and planning were carried through by an Organising Committee including Professor J. Hammerstein, Profes- sor K. D. Asmus, Barbara Steiger and Renate Nigam. The Scientific Committee included Dr. D. C. H. McBrien, Professor T. Dormandy, Professor K. R. Rees, Pro- fessor M. U. Dianzani and Professor H. Esterbauer. We thank these colleagues very much for their dedication, hard work and expert input.
