While the most advanced technology has been used to photograph and reproduce this document, the quality of the reproduction is heavily dependent upon the quality of the material submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help clarify markings or notations which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting througli an image and duplicating adjacent pages to assure complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a round black mark, it is an indication of either blurred copy because of movement during exposure, duplicate copy, or copyrighted materials that should not have been filmed. For blurred pages, a good image of the page can be found in the adjacent frame. If copyrighted materials were deleted, a target note will appear listing the pages in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., is part of the material being photographed, a definite method of "sectioning" the material has been followed. It is customary to begin filming at the upper left hand comer of a large sheet and to continue from left to right in equal sections with small overlaps. If necessary, sectioning is continued again—beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. For illustrations that cannot be satisfactorily reproduced by xerographic means, photographic prints can be purchased at additional cost and inserted into your xerographic copy. These prints are available upon request from the Dissertations Customer Services Department. 5. Some pages in any document may have indistinct print. In all cases the best available copy has been filmed. UniversiV Micronlms International 300 N.

Prior to the discovery of two labile eicosanoids, prostacyclin (PGIg) and thromboxane (TXAg), most investigators examined PG of the E series, such as PGE^ and PGEg. More recently, the physiological effects of PGIg and TXA^ on the vascular endothelium and platelets have been examined in relationship to diabetes and cardiovascular disease (1). The majority of these investigations, however, have been in vitro studies. Eicosanoids are a family of compounds derived from the 20-carbon polyunsaturated fatty acids (2). They are believed to be synthesized in every tissue. Eicosanoid family members exhibit a wide variety of physiological effects. In many cases, their effects on tissues are antagonistic (3, 4). For example, PGI^ synthesis is localized mainly in the vascular endothelium. PGIg inhibits platelet aggregation (similar to PGEg) and relaxes the vascular smooth muscle (similar to PGEg). In contrast, TXAg synthesis occurs primarily in the platelets. TXAg promotes platelet aggregation (similar to PGEg) and constricts the smooth muscle. Platelet aggregation
