Glycerophospholipids in Brain: Phospholipases A2 in Neurological Disorders
Akhlaq A. Farooqui and Lloyd A. Horrocks
Glycerophospholipids in Brain: Phospholipases A2 in Neurological Disorders provides a synthesis of material on the metabolism of phospholipids in the brain which has previously only been available in a scattered number of original papers and reviews. Here, the research of over 25 years is collected in one volume from two of the leading researchers in the field Akhlaq A. Farooqui and Lloyd A. Horrocks
Glycerophospholipids in Brain: Phospholipases A2 in Neurological Disorders comprehensively describes:
- metabolism in brain of glycerophospholipids, including those containing a vinyl ether group (plasmalogens)
- cutting-edge information on the properties and roles of phospholipases A2 in the central nervous system
- release by phospholipases A2 of second messengers (arachidl³,
