STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced that fatty-acid research journal - Prostaglandins, Leukotrienes & Essential Fatty Acids (PLEFA) - is set to become the official journal of the International Society for the Study of Fatty Acids and Lipids (ISSFAL), in 2008. The year also marks the 30th anniversary of the journal.
In 2008, all members of ISSFAL will have full online access to PLEFA, including its 30-year archive, online via a new site - www.PLEFA.com.
A monthly publication, PLEFA aims to cover all aspects of the roles of lipids in cellular, organ and whole organism function, and places a particular emphasis on human studies. Papers concerning all medical specialties are published. Much of the material is particularly relevant to the development of novel treatments for the disease.
Established in 1991, ISSFAL is a leading international scientific society dealing exclusively with the health impact of dietary lipids. The society's more than 500 members include scientists, medical professionals, educators, administrators, communicators and others with an interest in the health effects of dietary fats, oils and lipids; and researchers carrying out studies on the health effects of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, conjugated linoleic acids, saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids as well as other lipids.
