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

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

Physiological mechanisms associated with interleukin-13 (IL-13), a key cytokine in asthma, in intracellular Ca(2+) signaling in airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs) remain unclear. The aim of this study was to assess effects of IL-13 on Ca(2+) oscillations in response to

Leukotriene D(4) (LTD(4)) is a central mediator in asthma inducing bronchoconstriction and profound disturbances in pulmonary gas exchange in asthmatic subjects. The aim of the study was to compare, for the first time, the influence of the bronchodilators salbutamol (400 μg)

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
