  5. 3. Nitric oxide and eicosanoids : significance and interactions during antigen-induced responses in peripheral lung tissue

    Author : Anna-Karin Larsson; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Nitric oxide; leukotrienes; prostaglandins; histamine; ovalbumin; contractions; distal lung; rat; human; guinea pig; precision-cut lung slices; mast cell;

    Abstract : Asthma means difficulty in breathing and is described as a chronic, inflammatory disorder that produces narrowing of the lower respiratory tract. The allergen-induced asthmatic bronchoconstriction is primarily caused by an IgE-mediated release of the mast cell mediators, histamine and eicosanoids (leukotrienes and prostanoids). READ MORE
