Difference between Corticosteroid and Leukotriene

Corticosteroid vs. Leukotriene

Corticosteroids are a class of steroid hormones that are produced in the adrenal cortex of vertebrates, as well as the synthetic analogues of these hormones. Leukotrienes are a family of eicosanoid inflammatory mediators produced in leukocytes by the oxidation of arachidonic acid (AA) and the essential fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) by the enzyme arachidonate 5-lipoxygenase.

Similarities between Corticosteroid and Leukotriene

Corticosteroid and Leukotriene have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Anaphylaxis, Asthma, Enzyme, Inflammation, Phospholipase A2, Prostaglandin, Rhinitis.

Anaphylaxis

Anaphylaxis is a serious allergic reaction that is rapid in onset and may cause death.

Inflammation

Inflammation (from inflammatio) is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators.
