About the author
Dr. Akhlaq A. Farooqui is a leader in the field of signal transduction, brain phospholipases A2, bioactive ether lipid metabolism, polyunsaturated fatty acid metabolism, glycerophospholipid-, sphingolipid-, and cholesterol-derived lipid mediators, and glutamate-induced neurotoxicity. Dr. Farooqui has authored six monographs: Glycerophospholipids in Brain: Phospholipase A2 in Neurological Disorders (2007); Neurochemical Aspects of Excitotoxicity (2008); Metabolism and Functions of Bioactive Ether Lipids in Brain (2008); and Hot Topics in Neural Membrane Lipidology (2009); Beneficial Effects of Fish Oil in Human Brain (2009); and Neurochemical Aspects of Neurotraumatic and Neurodegenerative Diseases (2010). All monographs are published by Springer, New York. In addition, Dr. Akhlaq A. Farooqui has edited 4 books (Biogenic Amines: Pharmacological, Neurochemical and Molecular Aspects in the CNS (2010) Nova Science Publisher, Hauppauge, N.Y, Molecular Aspects of Neurodegeneration and Neuroprotection, Bentham Science Publishers Ltd (2011); Phytotherapeutics and Human Health: Molecular and pharmacological Aspects, Nova Science Publisher, Hauppauge, N.Y In Press (2011) and Molecular Aspects of Oxidative Stress on Cell Signaling in Vertebrates and Invertebrates, Wiley Blackwell Publishing Company, New York in press, 2011).
