Abstract
This review of leukotrienes, which are lipid mediators with a broad array of clinical effects, and leukotriene receptors considers the biochemical and physiological aspects of these molecules, examines their roles in asthma and other diseases, and explains the pharmacologic effects of antileukotriene agents.Keywords
