Background
The Cysteinyl Leukotrienes (LTC4, LTD4, and LTE4) are metabolites of arachidonic acid. They are formed via the 5-lipoxygenase pathway by addition of cysteine derivatives to LTA4. The conversion of LTA4 to LTC4 by the enzyme LTC4 synthase limits the rate of Cysteinyl Leukotriene formation. The Cysteinyl Leukotrienes are potent lipid mediators in inflammation. They cause smooth muscle contractions and increased capillary permeability. Monitoring the levels of Cysteinyl Leukotrienes has been useful in several studies, such as Hepatitis B, Helicobacter pylori infections, cerebral vasospasms and blood-brain cell contact, as well as asthma and other inflammatory responses.
