Existing therapeutic options are ineffective, unsafe, and expensive, and severe cases are nonresponsive to conventional therapy. Therefore, it is imperative that research be undertaken to discover new treatment options. \u003cstrong\u003eObstructive Airway Diseases: Role of Lipid Mediators\u003c\/strong\u003e discusses clinically successful and potential lipid targets that can make a difference in treating some of the most intractable disease states.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTopics discussed include:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cli\u003eObstructive airway diseases, etiology, pathophysiology, and existing therapeutic options\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhat constitutes a lipid and how it is broken down to generate biologically active mediators\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of enzymes in the process of lipid mediator synthesis\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe biology of arachidonic acid, platelet-activating factor, and lysophosphatidic acid and the role they play in airway inflammation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProducts of arachidonic acid metabolism such as leukotrienes, prostaglandins, epieicosatrienoic acid, and oxoeicosatetraenoic acid\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProresolution lipid mediators in inflammatory airway disease conditions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe role of sphingosine and ceramide in inflammatory airway disease\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProtein kinases activated by lipid mediators and those that trigger the generation of lipid messengers\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combined input of a panel of international authorities on lipid mediators makes this volume a valuable resource for all those involved in researching, teaching, and studying airway inflammation as well as those involved in drug discovery research.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePunit Srivastava maintains a \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/punit-srivastava.blogspot.com\/\"\u003eblog\u003c\/a\u003e with additional information about the book and his work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45584006086894,"sku":"9781439851401","price":311.2,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9612\/7726\/files\/9781439851401.jpg?v=1721105384","url":"https:\/\/bookland.com.au\/products\/obstructive-airway-diseases-hardback","provider":"Book Land AU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
