Meanings of leukotriene in English

The initial enzymatic steps in leukotriene synthesis occur at the nuclear envelope.

No significant differences were found according to leukotriene antagonist exposure or whether NSAIDs were randomly allocated.

These agents possess increased potency relative to SK&F 101132, the first leukotriene analog identified as having LT-antagonist activity.

Zymosan-stimulated leukotriene production in the peritoneal cavity of these mice is undetectable, whereas they produce substantial amounts of prostaglandins.

In accordance with these data, immunohistochemical analysis showed that both leukotriene B4 receptors were expressed in peripheral sensory neurons.

There was a significant release of histamine and leukotriene E4 into the BAL fluid in all the patients after challenge.

Newer drugs like leukotriene antagonists may find a place in control of exercise-induced bronchoconstriction and mild and moderate persistent asthma.

The company noted that Singulair, which works by blocking the protein leukotriene, should not be taken for relief of asthma attacks.

In addition to this new therapeutic strategy, we will describe about add-on effect of long-acting beta-2 agonists, theophylline, and leukotriene receptor antagonist.

In selected patients, additional therapy with leukotriene modifiers or anti-IgE antibody can result in improved asthma control and may allow tapering of corticosteroids.

This review of the contribution of variability in these genes places the contribution of the cysteinyl leukotriene system to respiratory endophenotypes in perspective.

We studied the effect of i.v.administration of leukotriene (LT) C4 on bronchial responsiveness to histamine and airway wall thickening in guinea-pigs.

Thus, the data show that the two leukotriene B4 receptors have opposing roles in the sensitization of peripheral sensory neurons forming a self-restricting system.

A series of 5-alkynyl- and 5-aryl-4,6-dithianonanedioic acids and related compounds has been prepared for evaluation of leukotriene antagonist activity.

In addition, among the Puerto Rican children, the association between leukotriene modifier use and augmented bronchodilator responsiveness was greatest in those younger than 12 years.

The data established these compounds as a novel class of leukotriene antagonists with potential utility for the treatment of asthma and other immediate hypersensitivity diseases.
