Abstract

This article summarizes some of the previously reported findings regarding a lipid mediator known as platelet-activating factor (PAF), and briefly describes its effects on cells and tissues. The effects of PAF have also been considered in relation to certain products of arachidonate metabolism released in response to PAF.
