The role of leukotriene inhibitors in allergic rhinitis and paranasal sinusitis

Current Allergy and Asthma Reports
Stephen M Parnes

Abstract

Leukotrienes are inflammatory mediators that are known as the slow-reacting substance of anaphylaxis produced by a number of cell types, including mast cells, eosinophils, basophils, macrophages, and monocytes. Synthesis of these meditators in the text result from the cleavage of arachidonic acid in cell membranes, and exert their biologic effects by binding and activating specific adaptors. This occurs in a serious of events that lead to contraction of the human airway smooth muscle, chemotaxis, and increased vascular permeability. These effects have lead to their important role in the diseases of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and possible paranasal sinusitis with the formation of nasal polyps. Since these agents lead to the production of symptoms in patients who are asthmatic, the use of leukotriene enzyme inhibitors, particularly montelukast, zafirlukasts seem appropriate.

Basophils

Basophils are myeloid cells with a high affinity IgE receptor and is involved in inflammatory responses during allergy. Discover the latest research on Basophils here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.

Asthma

This feed focuses in Asthma in which your airways narrow and swell. This can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing, wheezing and shortness of breath.
