Leukotrienes in rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of joints for which there is no strict cure. According to the study by the Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Leukotrienes (often leukotriene B4) as potent chemotactic agents can provoke most signs and symptoms in rheumatoid arthritis by initiating, coordinating, sustaining, and amplifying the inflammatory response, through recruitment of leukocytes. A number of studies have reported that pharmacological modulation in this field can significantly attenuate clinical manifestations associated with different inflammatory pathologies(10).
