Chapters discuss how higher AA levels in cell membranes enhance receptor expression and their affinity to proteins, hormones, and growth factors. Further, chapters explore the role of AA as the precursor for pro-inflammatory prostaglandins, thromboxanes, leukotrienes, and anti-inflammatory lipoxin A4, influencing inflammation, wound healing, and homeostasis. The book delves into the role of AAin regulating immune responses, impacting macrophages, T cells, NK cells, and anti-cancer actions. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides profound insights into AA's diverse physiological and pathological roles and serves as a valuable resource for students, researchers, physicians, scientists, and healthcare workers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Undurti N Das is a professor and director at the Department of Biotechnology, Indian Institute of Technology-Hyderabad, Telangana, India. He is a physician\/scientist based in USA who performed extensive research in essential fatty acids (EFAs) and their metabolites in various diseases like obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, autoimmune diseases, sepsis, pneumonia, cancer, and coronary heart disease. His work revealed that EFAs metabolism is altered in several diseases implying that methods designed to normalize EFAs metabolism may form a new approach to the prevention and management of several diseases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e03 November 2026\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer Nature Singapore\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSpringer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9789819259632\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e286\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Singapore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53260106334348,"sku":"9789819259632","price":224.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789819259632.jpg?v=1790896032","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789819259632","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
