title: [Prostanoids and leukotrienes in ophthalmology. I. Basic biochemistry and physiology of prostanoids and leukotrienes].
abstract: The authors give a brief account of hitherto assembled knowledge on the biochemistry and physiology of prostanoids and leucotrienes. They describe the history of investigations of these substances, their properties and patterns of synthesis. The authors evaluate possibilities of the pharmacotherapeutic use of inhibitors of prostanoid and leucotriene synthesis.
