Publisher's Synopsis
Prostaglandins and other eicosanoids constitute just one of many known families of autacoids. Most of these biologically active substances that are produced within the body are stored or synthesized within ocular tissues. This book covers all aspects of research conducted in this field over the past two decades, ranging from studies on cultured ocular cells to studies on glaucoma patients, from molecular biology to clinical studies. The text has been aimed specifically at ophthalmologists and clinical scientists involved in ocular research.
