Chemical Information
FooDB NameLeukotriene B5
DescriptionLeukotriene B5 (LTB5) is a 5-lipoxygenase metabolite of arachidonic (AA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), involved in numerous inflammatory diseases and possesses a substantially less potent inflammatory effect than LTB4. Binding of LTB5 to human neutrophil LTB4 high affinity binding sites is lower than that of LTB4. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes isolated from volunteers who ingested eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) form LTB5. Enrichment of human neutrophils with EPA, by dietary supplementation for at least 3 weeks, reduces their formation of LTB4 ex vivo. LTB5 is catabolized to 20-OH-LTB5, which in turn is metabolized to 20-COOH-LTB5. Presumably the same enzyme systems are involved in the catabolism of LTB5 that are responsible for catabolism of LTB4. Fish oil supplementation has a protective effect on exercise-induced bronchoconstriction (EIB) in elite athletes, which may be attributed to its antiinflammatory properties due to a significant reduction in LTB4 and a significant increase in LTB5 generation from activated polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNLs). (PMID: 1964169, 15866528, 2538061, 16424411) Leukotrienes are eicosanoids. The eicosanoids consist of the prostaglandins (PGs), thromboxanes (TXs), leukotrienes (LTs) and lipoxins (LXs). The PGs and TXs are collectively identified as prostanoids. Prostaglandins were originally shown to be synthesized in the prostate gland, thromboxanes from platelets (thrombocytes) and leukotrienes from leukocytes, hence the derivation of their names. All mammalian cells except erythrocytes synthesize eicosanoids. These molecules are extremely potent, able to cause profound physiological effects at very dilute concentrations. All eicosanoids function locally at the site of synthesis, through receptor-mediated G-protein linked signaling pathways. [HMDB]
