Metabolic Fate of Arachidonic Acid

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.
