Cloth. Condición: Like New. Type: Book This volume contains the proceedings of the William Harvey Conference held in London, 10-11 October, 1995. It covers the molecular biology and physiological functions of the cyclo-oxygenase enzymes, as well as the experimental and clinical aspects of the recently discovered inhibitors of the inducible cyclooxygenase. Particular attention has been directed at the discussion of the selectivity of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs for cyclooxygenase-2 and their propensity to cause gastric and kidney damage. 248pp.

Cloth/Laminated Boards. Condición: Very Good. Type: Book This volume contains the proceedings of the William Harvey Research Conference held in London on the 12th and 13th June 1997. It covers the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, their release in pathological conditions, progress in the characterization of leukotriene receptors, and the elucidation of signal transduction mechanisms following receptor activation. Particular attention has been directed at the use of the increasing number of available leukotriene receptor antagonists and biosynthesis inhibitors in diseases such as asthma and rhinitis. 143pp.

Sir John Vane is the Director General, Regina Botting the Information Scientist, and Jack Botting Consultant at the William Harvey Research Institute, an independent charitable foundation carrying out research into cardiovascular disease inflammation and metabolic disorders within Queen Mary and Westfield College of the University of London, UK. Sir John Vane was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1982 for his discoveries of the mechanism of action of aspirin and of the physiological role of prostacyclin and other prostanoids.". First Edition.
