Sustained release of sulphamethizole from agar beads

preferentially from an interference with lipoxygenase enzymes. PMNs may aggregate in response to AA as a result of production of biologically active products of lipoxygenase enzymes (Goetzl & Sun 1979), such as hydroperoxy or epoxidc intermediates, or hydroxy fatty acids, e.g. 5-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid. These metabolites may play important roles in the biological effects resulting from the metabolism of AA by mammalian cells. The enhancement of the aggregatory REFERENCES
