Transcellular biosynthesis of eicosanoids. R.J. GRYGLEWSKI. Pol. J. Pharmacol., 1999, 51, 113-117.

Transcellular biosynthesis of prostacyclin (platelets/endothelial cells), cysteinyl-leukotrienes (granulocytes/endothelial cells) or lipoxins (granulocytes/renal cells) constitute a new approach to the therapy of thrombosis, ischaemic heart disease and glomerulonephritis.

Key words: eicosanoids, transcellular biosynthesis, thrombosis, coronary disease, aspirin-induced asthma, glomerulonephritis
