title: [A bioregulator of lipid nature--a platelet activating factor (PAF)].
abstract: The review concerns metabolism, immunological and antihypertensive action of platelet activating factor (PAF), a bioregulator of lipid nature. Major synthetic approaches to PAF and its analogues are described. The effects of structural modification on the physiological activity of PAF are considered.
