Metabolic Fate of Arachidonic Acid - Eicosanoids Biochemistry

This Book depicts the metabolic fate of Arachidonic acid in general through three major pathways viz. Lipoxygenase, Cyclooxygenase & Cytochrome P450 monoxygenase pathways. However, special emphasis has been given to the Lipoxygenase pathway. The book takes into account of the recent findings in the above pathways for instance discovery of the Lipoxygenase system in bacteria. Also, new genes of the Lipoxygenase pathway and its orthologous genes in mice are also well compared. In Summary, the book is a concise yet comprehensive literature on Arachidonic acid metabolism with special interest on Lipoxygenase enzyme system.
