Description for Leukotrienes
Hardback. This volume, containing the proceedings of a conference held in 1997, covers the biosynthesis of leukotrienes, their release in pathological conditions, progress in the characterization of leukotriene receptors, and the elucidation of signal transduction mechanisms following receptor activation. Editor(s): Rodger, Ian; Botting, Jack H.; Dahlen, Sven-Erik. Num Pages: 143 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MMG. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 11. Weight in Grams: 399.
In the two decades since the elusive "slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis" (SRS-A) was identified as a product of the action of the 5-lipoxygenase enzyme on arachidonic acid, it has been well established that the leukotrienes are key mediators of both alIergy and inflammation. Their release by alIergen or other challenge has been demonstrated in the lungs of asthmatic subjects, and measurement of urinary leukotriene concentrations in such patients has been shown to be a valuable, non invasive indicator. Significant progress has been made towards the characterization of the leukotriene receptor subtypes, exemplified by the cloning of the LTB4 receptor ... Read more
