Abstract
Our knowledge of Prostaglandin biosynthesis came originally from the studies by Bergström et al. (1964) and van Dorp et al. (1964). During the past 20 years, Samuelsson and his colleagues have done much to describe the biochemical pathways for the biosynthesis and metabolism of the arachidonic acid metabolic products (Samuelsson 1976, 1985; Hamberg and Samuelsson 1974).
