Year 1967 ( MCMLXVII) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link will display full calendar of the 1967 Gregorian calendar. He shared with Sune K. Bergström and John R. Vane the 1982 Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine for discoveries concerning prostaglandins and related substances. Sune Karl Bergström (born January 10, 1916 in Stockholm, Sweden; died August 15, 2004) was a Swedish Biochemist Sir John Robert Vane ( March 29, 1927 &ndash November 19, 2004) was a British Pharmacologist. Year 1982 ( MCMLXXXII) was a Common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar) The Nobel Prize (Nobelpriset (Nobelprisen is a Swedish prize established in the 1895 will of Swedish chemist Alfred Nobel; it was first awarded in Peace, Literature A prostaglandin is any member of a group of Lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from Fatty acids and have important functions in the Animal body In 1975,he was awarded the Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize from Columbia University together with Sune K. Bergström . Louisa Gross Horwitz Prize for Biology or Biochemistry is an annual prize awarded by Columbia University to a researcher or group of researchers that have made an outstanding Columbia University is a private University in the United States and a member of the Ivy League. Sune Karl Bergström (born January 10, 1916 in Stockholm, Sweden; died August 15, 2004) was a Swedish Biochemist Discussing the role of prostaglandins in the body, Samuelsson explained, "It's a control system for the cells that participates in many biological functions. A prostaglandin is any member of a group of Lipid compounds that are derived enzymatically from Fatty acids and have important functions in the Animal body There are endless possibilities of manipulating this system in drug development. "

His research interests were originally in cholesterol metabolism with importance to reaction mechanisms. Cholesterol is a Lipid found in the Cell membranes and transported in the Blood plasma of all Animals It is an essential component of mammalian Following the structural work on prostaglandins along with Sune Bergström he has interested mainly in transformation products of arachidonic acid. This has directed to the identification of endoperoxides, thromboxanes and the leukotrienes, and his group has chiefly been involved in studying the chemistry, biochemistry and biology of these compounds and their function in biological control system. Prostaglandin H2 is a type of Prostaglandin which is derived from Arachidonic acid and is a precursor for many other biologically significant molecules Thromboxane is a member of the family of Lipids known as Eicosanoids. Leukotrienes are naturally produced Eicosanoid lipid mediators, which may be responsible for the effects of an inflammatory response Chemistry (from Egyptian kēme (chem meaning "earth") is the Science concerned with the composition structure and properties Biochemistry is the study of the chemical processes in living Organisms It deals with the Structure and function of cellular components such as Foundations of modern biology There are five unifying principles The research has implications in numerous clinical areas, especially in thrombosis, inflammation, and allergy. Thrombosis is the formation of a blood Clot ( Thrombus) inside a Blood vessel, obstructing the flow of Blood through the Circulatory Inflammation ( Latin, inflamatio, to set on fire is the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli such as Pathogens Allergy is a disorder of the Immune system often also referred to as Atopy.

This field grew enormously since those days. Between 1981 and 1995 about three thousand papers per year were published that openly used the expression "prostaglandins," or related terms such as "prostacyclins," "leukotrienes," and "thromboxanes," in their labels and titles.
