Cysteinyl leukotrienes are established mediators of bronchial asthma and have agonist roles analogous to those of histamine in allergic rhinitis. We now know that the substance originally termed ...

The degradation of leukotrienes (LT) by β-oxidation from the ω-end proceeds in liver peroxisomes (J. Biol. Chem. 266:24763-72, 1991). Peroxisomal LT degradation was studied in man by analyses of ...

Early research has shown some promising results. These included the finding that the compounds in frankincense may help ...

CLEVELAND, Ohio - If you’re one of the 30% of the population afflicted with pollen-related allergies, you might be miserable ...

Leukotriene modifiers block the action of leukotrienes, which are chemicals produced by the body in response to an allergen. These chemicals cause inflammation, constrict the nasal passages ...

If your sinuses haven't already alerted you, spring allergy season is upon us — earlier and stronger than expected. Let’s ...

The second phase can last for minutes to hours after exposure and is driven by leukotrienes—which is released by your body after encountering an allergen—and other chemicals. This is why you ...

leukotrienes, cytokines) involved in inflammation. The pharmacologic effects of beta 2-adrenoceptor agonist drugs, including vilanterol, are at least in part attributable to stimulation of ...

Arachidonic acid is the precursor to a number of eicosanoids, including the prostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes, which participate in autocrine, paracrine, and occasional endocrine ...

Abnormally high levels of cAMP and leukotrienes have been observed in patients with psoriasis and normalization of these levels may improve the condition (Thorne Research, Inc., 1999). While not ...

Corticosteroids have a variety of ocular effects which include inhibition of enzyme phospholipase A2, thereby reducing the endogenous production of PGs and leukotrienes. Steroids and PGs have ...

It is postulated that these proteins control the biosynthesis of potent mediators of inflammation such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes by inhibiting the release of their common precursor ...
