Prostaglandins Leukotrienes and Essential Fatty Acids

Aims & Scope

The role of lipids, including essential fatty acids and their prostaglandin, leukotriene and other derivatives, is now evident in almost all areas of biomedical science.

Cell membrane behaviour and cell signalling in all tissues are highly dependent on the lipid constituents of cells.

Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes & Essential Fatty Acids aims to cover all aspects of the roles of lipids in cellular, organ and whole organism function, and places a particular emphasis on human studies.

Papers concerning all medical specialties are published.

Much of the material is particularly relevant to the development of novel treatments for disease.
