| Abstract | Leukotrienes B4, C4, and D4, members of a recently discovered family of substances biosynthesized from arachidonic acid, were found to have potent microvascular actions in the hamster cheek pouch. When applied topically to the vascular network, leukotrienes C4 and D4 caused an intense constriction of arterioles, being similar to angiotensin in potency in this respect. The vasoconstriction induced by leukotrienes C4 and D4 was short-lived, and it was consistently followed by a marked and dose-dependent extravasation of macromolecules from postcapillary venules. Histamine did not constrict arterioles, but it elicited leakage of plasma, although on a molar basis it was no more than 1/1000th as potent as the leukotrienes. When used in the same concentration range as leukotrienes C4 and D4, leukotriene B4 did not evoke vasoconstriction or promote plasma leakage. On the other hand, leukotriene B4 caused a conspicuous and reversible adhesion of leukocytes to the endothelium in postcapillary venules. Our findings that leukotrienes induce microcirculatory alterations in vivo, closely resembling the early events in the acute inflammatory response, imply that leukotrienes, formed in several blood-borne and tissue-bound cells, may mediate important microcirculatory adjustments to noxious stimuli. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
