| Popis: |
Lipoxygenase products, such as leukotrienes and platelet activating factor (PAF) are the most recently described and studied vasoactive agents which have been suggested as chemical mediators in shock. They might also be more generally involved in some of the pathophysiological consequences of tissue underperfusion. Neither were discussed to any extent in two of the most recent reviews on neurohumoral agents and their release in shock [1, 2] and it is as yet too early to decide on their importance relative to other more established mediators. This brief review attempts to summarize the limited experimental data available on their actions and possible role in shock. Hopefully, it will provide pointers for more clearly defining their importance in tissue low perfusion states. |
