Details for messenger / hormone: LTD4

EndoNet ID: ENH00588

To link to the content of EndoNet use the EndoNet ID that is given on the detail pages in the format ENX0000, where X is a place holder for the type of the component (e. g. R for receptor or C for anatomical structure).
As URL for the linking append this ID to the detail page for this type of component.
For an hormone that would be:

General information

  • LTD4 modulates brain edema. [1]
  • The LTD4 potentiation of vascular contraction is mediated through peptido-leukotriene-receptor stimulation. [2]
  • LTD4 has a beneficial role in the acute respiratory distress syndrome. [3]
  • LTD4 activates a chloride conductance in hepatocytes isolated from rats treated with Endotoxin or primed in vitro with TNF-alpha. [4]
  • LTD4 stimulates ciliary activity, but impairs the orientation of cilia in rat and in human tissue. [5]
  • LTD4 increases free beta-catenin and targets it to the nucleus. [6]
  • High concentration of LTD4 causes liver weight gain by substantial post-sinusoidal constriction. [7]
  • LTD4 mediates the increase in airway responsiveness and the increase in airway smooth muscle following repeated antigen exposures. [8]
  • LTD4 mediates the alterations of colonic transit immediately observed after intracolonic trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid administration. [9]
  • LTD4 is enhanced in rat hearts with chronic myocardial infarction. [10]
  • LTD4 stimulates the synthesis from lamina propria cells of cyclooxygenase metabolites that induce electrogenic Cl- secretion via serotonergic receptors. [11]
  • LTD4 inhibits selectively the particulate guanylate cyclase and the response activated by atrial natriuretic factor. [12]
