Lipid Second Messengers (1st edition)

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.
