Bioactive Lipid Mediators in Cardiopulmonary Pharmacology, Volume 97 updates readers on topics surrounding Bioactive lipid mediators. These mediators are involved in a vast array of signaling pathways that regulate both physiological and pathophysiological responses. Chapters in this new release include Cyclooxygenases and Vascular Function, Cyclooxygenases and Platelet Function, Eicosanoids and Cardiomyopathies, Cytochrome P450 Bioactive Lipids in the Heart, Epoxide Hydrolase and Leukotoxin in the Heart and Lung, Role of cytochrome P450-epoxygenase and soluble epoxide hydrolase in the regulation of vascular response, Bioactive Lipids in Hypertension, Cytochrome P450 Metabolites and Angiogenesis, 20-Hydroxyeicosatetraenoic Acid and Vascular Function, and more. Other critical sections cover Cytochrome P450 Eicosanoids and the Brain, Omega-3 Oxylipids, Resolvins, Lipoxins and Inflammation, Endocannabinoids as Bioactive Metabolites, and Oxylipins and Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease. - Provides reviews from world experts in the field of bioactive lipid mediators - Focuses on current topics, with an emphasis on the development of novel therapeutics - Covers a diverse range of bioactive lipids derived from COX, LOX or CYP-mediated metabolism of omega-3 and omega-6 PUFAs

The Organizing Committee of the 15th International Conference on Bioactive Lipids in Cancer, Inflammation and Related Diseases compiled a group of junior investigators to provide reviews on the topics they presented at the Puerto Vallarta Bioactive Lipids conference, as part of the book series, Advances in Experimental Medicine and Biology (AEMB). The book in this series will be titled Bioactive Lipids in Cancer, Inflammation and Related Diseases. Topics range from all classes of lipids including prostaglandins, resolvins, spingolipids, P450-derived lipids, endocannabanoids and phospholipids. The focus includes physiology, cell biology, and structural studies in organisms from bacteria to humans and how these studies addressed the role of lipids in various disease i.e. cancer, inflammation, diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease and others.
