Abstract:Lukotrienes (LTs) are inflammatory mediators of eicosanoids in leukocytes, which are formed by arachidonic acid and eicosapentaenoic acid through the oxidation of arachidonic acid 5-lipoxygenase. This article gives a brief overview of physical and chemical properties of LTs, then details the significance of clinical monitoring between LTs and atherosclerosis through the lipoxygenase pathway metabolic processes and their products. Besides, the associations between LTs and atherosclerosis in the reported animal and human studies are assessed, which can provide suggestion for screening LTs-based disease biomarkers and be as the available reference of their new clinically targeted treatment options.
