Product Description
This volume contains the proceedings of the William HarveyConference held in London, 10--11 October, 1995. It covers themolecular biology and physiological functions of the cyclo-oxygenaseenzymes, as well as the experimental and clinical aspects of therecently discovered inhibitors of the inducible cyclooxygenase. Particular attention has been directed at the discussion of theselectivity of non-steroid anti-inflammatory drugs forcyclooxygenase-2 and their propensity to cause gastric and kidneydamage. Sir John Vane is the Director General, Regina Botting the InformationScientist, and Jack Botting Consultant at the William Harvey ResearchInstitute, an independent charitable foundation carrying out researchinto cardiovascular disease inflammation and metabolic disorderswithin Queen Mary and Westfield College of the University of London,UK. Sir John Vane was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1982 for his discoveriesof the mechanism of action of aspirin and of the physiological role ofprostacyclin and other prostanoids. ... Read more
