General editor: J. KNOLL Edited by К. KELEMEN The volume presents all the papers read at the symposium which was held in the frame of the Second Congress of the Hungarian Pharmacologi­cal Society in October, 1974. Recent advances in prostaglandin research were outlined by 40 par­ticipants from 9 countries. The volume contains numerous new data on the effects of prostaglan­dins upon the heart and blood circulation, the respiratory system, the endocrine glands and on inflammatory processes. Further it deals with the clinical use of prostaglandins and their antago­nists in obstetrics and gynaecology. Besides these problems the chemistry of prostaglandins, their fate in the body and the properties of new prosta­glandin derivatives are also described in the book. The papers approach the problems of prostaglan­dins from the pharmacological point of view em­phasizing the interaction of prostaglandins with other pharmacologically active agents.
