The Role of 5-Lipoxygenase and Leukotrienes in Shock and Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury
The leukotrienes (LTs) are metabolic products of arachidonic acid via the 5-lipoxygenase (5-LO) pathway. The biological activities of LTs suggest that they are mediators of acute inflammatory and immediate hypersensitivity responses. In particular, the 5-LO activation has been proposed to be an impo...
