Leukotriene receptor antagonist as a novel tocolytic in an in vitro model of human uterine contractility
2014, European Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology and Reproductive BiologyCitation Excerpt :In vivo, leukotrienes can trigger inflammatory processes [29] and contractile responses [14]. LTD4 treatments are known to induce a partial inflammatory condition and enhance contractile responses in various smooth muscle tissues [30,31]. Moreover, LTD4 is the metabolite with the highest intrinsic activity toward CysLTR1 [32].
