Lipid Second Messengers

Lipid Second Messengers provides detailed methodology for analysis of various lipid signaling pathways. Authoritative contributors explain the factors that regulate lipid second messenger production by agonist-activated enzymes and examine their products. Topics discussed include procedures used to measure lipid-derived mediators such as lysophospholipids arachidonic acid eicosanoids anandamide and ceramides and the enzymes responsible for generating these messengers such as phospholipases prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases and sphingomyelinase.
