Information on bioactive ether lipids and their involvement in neurological disorders is currently scattered throughout the literature in the form of original papers and reviews. Metabolism and Function of Bioactive Ether Lipids in the Brain provides readers with a comprehensive description of metabolism of bioactive ether lipids in the brain, activities of enzymes involved in their metabolism, and their involvement in neurological disorders. This book will be particularly useful to neuroscience graduate students, academics, and researchers. Clinicians will find this book useful for understanding molecular aspects of neurodegeneration in acute neural trauma and neurodegenerative diseases thatare mediated by plamalogen-selective phospholipase A2 and PAF acetyl hydrolase. A comprehensive description of the metabolism and function of bioactive ether lipids in the brain First book to describe the involvement of these lipids with abnormal signal transduction processes in neurological disorders Of interest to both researchers and clinicians working with neurodegenerative disorders
