Publisher's Synopsis
This volume contains the proceedings of the Fifth Scientific Meeting of the Society for Research on Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids, held in Tokyo in November 1992. The meeting integrated current knowledge from both fundamental research, and studies in humans. The chapters in this volume are organized around 11 sessions: Lectures; PUFA metabolism; Cancer; Inflammation/immune System; Lipid Peroxidation; Hyperlipidemia/Lipoproteins; Cardiovascular diseases, Hypertension; Diabetes Mellitus; Nutrition, and Central Nervous System. It is believed that this publication on PUFA and related compounds will serve as a reference work for medical researchers and clinicians. Owing to a limitation of space, a number of papers have been omitted from the contents list.
