Prostaglandins and cardiovascular disease

BOOK
the use of this analytical technique on soft tissue; Section 16.4 gives a very brief introduction to the preparation of biological tissue for such analysis. Mention is also made of analysis of biological fluids using the microdroplet technique and investigations of single cells (sperm, red blood cells) and cellular components and inclusions. The difficulty of measuring diffusible elements is also made clear.
REVIEWS “Electron Beam a well-known and should be useful microanalysis for
X-Ray Microanalysis” is written by respected authority in the field and to anyone who is performing X-ray it contains a wealth of information. ANDRE

National Institutes of Health Received April 10, 1981
Briefly Noted Prostaglandins and Cardiovascular Disease (Atherosclerosis Reviews, Vol. 8). Edited by RUTH J. HEGYELI, Raven Press, New York, 1981. 218 pp., $25.00. This Symposium volume is Briefly Noted because two of its chapters may be useful summaries and sources of reference: “Analytical methodology in the cardiovascular and platelet areas” by Niels H. Andersen and a
group from the University of Washington (28 pp.), and “Analytical procedures for the study of arachidonic acid metabolism in platelets and brain” by G. Galli and colleagues from the University of Milan (IO pp.). The remainder of this volume includes material on the metabolism of the prostaglandins, the cyclooxygenase pathway, the influence of dietary factors, and clinical correlates.
