leukotrieeneiksi
Leukotrienes are a group of biologically active lipids that are produced by leukocytes and some other cells. They are synthesized from arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid, through the action of the enzyme 5-lipoxygenase. Leukotrienes are potent mediators of inflammation, playing a crucial role in allergic reactions and asthma.
There are several types of leukotrienes, including LTA4, LTB4, LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4. LTB4 is a chemoattractant
The inflammatory effects of leukotrienes are mediated by specific receptors on target cells. For instance, cysteinyl
