Plasma levels of leukotriene C4, B4, slow reacting substance of anaphylaxis in chronological phases of cerebrovascular disease.

In this study we report and compare plasma leukotriene (LT) levels in seventeen (17) patients with cerebral infarction, five (5) patients with cerebral hemorrhage and twelve (12) age-matched healthy volunteers. Plasma samples were collected at intervals of 1-7 days, 8-14 days, 15-30 days and 31 days- after cerebrovascular accident. Plasma immunoreactive LTC4, LTB4 and SRS-A (Slow Reacting Substance of Anaphylaxis or total peptido-LT's) levels were measured for each sample. Immunoreactive LTC4 (and SRS-A) levels were elevated in patients with cerebral infarction whilst LTB4 levels were raised in the patients with cerebral hemorrhage. In particular, cerebral infarcted patients exhibited significantly elevated levels in phases 1-7 days and after 15 days when compared with the age-matched healthy volunteers. In patients with cerebral hemorrhage, significant increases in LTB4 were measured in days 1-7 only. These results suggest a clinical relationship between the plasma levels of LT's and cerebrovascular disease.[1]
