Both leukotriene D(4) (LTD(4)) and methacholine bronchial provocation tests are measurements of airway responsiveness; however, their correlation and distinction remain unexplored. We sought to compare the 2 tests and classify leukotriene-responsiveness subtypes in asthmatic patients. In this randomized cross-over study

Allergic asthma is characterized by reversible airway obstruction and bronchial hyperresponsiveness associated with T(H)2 cell-mediated inflammation. Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are potent lipid mediators involved in bronchoconstriction, mucus secretion, and cell trafficking in asthmatic patients. Recent data have implicated CysLTs in

The inflammatory mediator LTD4 (leukotriene D4) is present at high levels in many inflammatory conditions, and areas of chronic inflammation have an increased risk for subsequent cancer development. We demonstrate here that following LTD4 stimulation, beta-catenin is translocated to the

Leukotrienes are recognized as important mediators of the inflammatory process. Recently, increasing attention has been paid to the role of noninflammatory cells in the regulation of the inflammatory process. To further increase our knowledge of this matter we have, in

The Journal of pharmacology and experimental therapeutics, 339(3), 768-778 (2011-09-10)
Cysteinyl leukotrienes (CysLTs) are potent inflammatory mediators that predominantly exert their effects by binding to cysteinyl leukotriene receptors of the G protein-coupled receptor family. CysLT receptor 2 (CysLT(2)R), expressed in endothelial cells of some vascular beds, has been implicated in
