leukotriene B4
This term refers to a specific lipid mediator within the leukotriene family, primarily recognized for its role in triggering acute inflammation. It functions as a chemical signal that recruits white blood cells, specifically neutrophils, to the site of tissue injury or infection.
In a clinical or biochemical context, it is treated as a specific chemical entity. Because it is a distinct molecular species, it is typically used as an uncountable noun in scientific literature, referring to the substance itself rather than individual molecules.
Meanings
A potent lipid mediator produced from arachidonic acid by the action of 5-lipoxygenase, which acts as a powerful chemoattractant for neutrophils and other leukocytes during inflammatory responses.
The administration of a leukotriene B4 antagonist reduced the infiltration of neutrophils into the lung tissue.
