Increased urinary excretion of LTE4 after exercise and attenuation of exercise-induced bronchospasm by montelukast, a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist.
BACKGROUND A study was undertaken to determine whether montelukast, a new potent cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, attenuates exercise-induced bronchoconstriction. The relationship between the urinary excretion of LTE4 and exercise-induced bronchoconstriction was also investigated. METHODS Nineteen non-smoking asthmatic patients with a forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) of...
متن کاملMontelukast: more than a cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist?
The prototype cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, montelukast, is generally considered to have a niche application in the therapy of exercise- and aspirin-induced asthma. It is also used as add-on therapy in patients whose asthma is poorly controlled with inhaled corticosteroid monotherapy, or with the combination of a long-acting beta(2)-agonist and an inhaled corticosteroid. Recently, ...
متن کاملExercise-induced bronchoconstriction: The effects of montelukast, a leukotriene receptor antagonist
Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) is very common in both patients with asthma and those who are otherwise thought to be normal. The intensity of exercise as well as the type of exercise is important in producing symptoms. This may make some types of exercise such as swimming more suitable and extended running more difficult for patients with this condition. A better understanding of EI...
متن کاملThe attenuation of exercise-induced bronchospasm by ascorbic acid.
In order to study the potential benefit of ascorbic acid in asthma we investigated its role in exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB). Twelve asthmatic subjects were recruited on the basis of findings compatible with EIB. On two subsequent days the subjects ingested 500 mg. of ascorbic acid or a placebo. The study was performed in a double-blind randomized fashion. Partial and maximal expiratory f...
متن کاملBeneficial effects montelukast, cysteinyl-leukotriene receptor antagonist, on renal damage after unilateral ureteral obstruction in rats.
INTRODUCTION Ureteral obstruction is a common pathology and caused kidney fibrosis and dysfunction at late period. In this present, we investigated the antifibrotic and antiinflammatory effects of montelukast which is cysteinyl leukotriene receptor antagonist, on kidney damage after unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS 32 rats divided four groups. Group 1 was co...
