Leukotrienes biosynthesis in vascular surgery patients during perioperative period.
Abstract
Leukotrienes (LTs), highly bioactive lipid mediators play a major role in inflammation, wound healing and in the development of atherosclerosis. LTs biosynthesis have been suggested to be increased in myocardial infarction (MI) and in surgical patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. Among LTs, Cysteinyl-LTs have the most potent biological properties and their production is well reflected by LTE4 concentration in urine (uLTE4). Aim of the …
